I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I was doing the dash leds and was on the emergency light. I touched the end of the lead w/ resistor and the ground to the copper ciricle. The led lit up but when i went to try it again i must have flipped it. All of a sudden all of my lights in my car flashed brighter then turned off. Now when i turn on my lights, my gauges dont come on, neither do the climate control lights, and neither does the automatic shifter lights. Did i blow a fuse? That has got to be the worst mistake ive made during a DIY.

Could be the "small light" fuse.. same thing happened like that to me (parking lights, dashlights, interior lights all out) all due to one small fuse. Hope that helps, good luck.

dont flip it, and you will blow fuses...its normal, just try to be carefull. I have done many electrical diy's and you blow fuses here and there but sometimes it reall gets you and just blows the actual component. Last thing i did was install a compustar security system in my car. Peace

Did you check the fuse box next to the battery (under hood)?
