Under Hood light fuse
Hey guys. I was installing an LED bulb for my under hood light and I blew a fuse. The MAP lights and glovebox lights aren’t on so that must be it.
I searched on the forum and found that it is #2 fuse that needs replacing. But I replaced it, unplugged and replugged the wire for the light, and it still doesn’t work.
Did I create a bigger problem than just the blown fuse? Or do I need to keep trying different fuses?
thanks!

I'd remove the LED bulb, double check the fuse to make sure you are replacing the correct one, double check to be sure it's the correct amperage (10a I believe, but double check) and also try a new fuse. Might seem silly, but make sure the interior bulbs aren't blown either. I believe the interior bulbs are 194s.

The underhood light unplugs/disconnects on right side in front of radiator. Just follow the wire down. Once you get the light working...just disconnect until needed. No worries.

And if you do unplug the connection, suggest you insulate the openings at both ends.
