All lights dead..

Hi All,

I have a HC 5 (96-00) and a few days ago, I under the hood wiring new lights, when I picked up some wires which I wired a few months back, that all my lights turned off. I check the fuses and saw np, all my lights are dead, the only 2 that work are headlights. Have no backlights, dashboard lights...have had this issue before, but my mechanic dealt with it...but have not been able to get a hold of him...What is the issue, could it be the fusebox under the hood thats blown. I have no idea.





Thanks in Adv.

Re: All lights dead..

did you disconnect your negative terminal when doing the wiring? I have learned my mistake on that.

Re: All lights dead..

hah always make sure you disconnect negative terminals before messing with wires. You can mess things up and blow fuses and bulbs
