NEED HELP QUICK installed new radio, and now 194 leds in the guage cluster dont work!

ok... lol i know im going to get flamed, neways i was talking to kevin last night and yesterday about this pioneer hu my boy has, he was selling it for a 140 but i gave him a buck, its brand new in the box, and its a pioneer-p660, its real nice, i love the dolphins

neways tonight from commin home from work,i turn on my lights and notice none of the guage cluster lights work, i had put these blue 194 leds in a year ago, and i know all of them couldnt blow at once. what could be the problem? which fuse should i check? all my wires behind the hu is fine, and wrapped nicely

The fuse you are looking for is in the fusebox located under the hood. It is the 10A fuse in one of the corners, I foget which one, but that's the one you are looking for. Happened to me whn I added my 194s to my cluster too. If it shorts that means you crossed a wire possibley; that's what happened to me.

Most stock h/u's used to use the dimmer to dim the display. If the wire wasn't used again, it would have to be taped off. Otherwise when you were back there wiring up, you could have accidently let it touch ground.
