Default c4 PANEL LIGHTS PROBLEM

RECENTLY REPLACED CARPETING AND SEATS, SINCE THEN;
NO KEY LEFT IN IGNITION TONE
NO SHIFT LIGHT (BULB GOOD, WORKS WITH JUMP)
NO LIGHTS IN HEATER CONTROL BUTTONS

MAIN FUSE PANEL- FUSE MARKED R INST NO JUICE IN OR OUT

RIGHT KICK PANEL FUSE BOX - FUSE MARKED L INST NO JUICE IN OR OUT

JUMPED BOTH FUSES, NOTHING HAPPENED.

ANYONE OUT THERE WITH ADVICE OR FIX ?

THANKS,
davec491

How much of the carpeting did you replace in the front?

How do you expect us to offer help if you don't tell us what year vette you have? All C4's are NOT wired exactly the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You might have a blown fusible link that supplies power to the ignition switch from which almost all circuits get power. On later C4's there is a fuse box next to the battery which supplies power to the ignition switch.

Then you shouldn't be willing to offer any advice on how to fix a problem.

Technical puzzles I like, crossword puzzles I don't. Those seeking help offer symptoms NOT hidden in obscure ways, so it seems odd to me to hide the year vette. It isn't very hard to post the year vette in plain text. You will get a lot more assistance!

When screwing some of the pannels back on you might have grounded a wire by pinching it or put a screw threw a wire.
