HELP, my lights won't work
I'll start with this.. I was replacing all my 194a style bulbs with the LED upgrade. When I was on my last bulb (front marker) I installed it. It was flickering on and off.. I pulled it out and reinstalled it. When I did that, all my running lights went out. My aftermarket gauge lights and my gauge cluster lights don't work either now. Also my headlights won't go down. They still come on and work, just won't go down.
I'm not the best when it comes to electrical at all. I looked in both fuse boxes and can't figure out what it is. PLEASE help me out guys. It's driving me insane.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you blew the fuse. Have you checked all of them yet? Also, LED's are not like incandescent lamps and can only be installed in the correct electrical direction whereas incandescent lamps can plug it either way. Pull that last one out, replace the fuse that I'm thinking is blown, then carefully put in the LED.

Yes!!! It was fuse 6.. I put a new one in and they worked but the one LED was flickering still and then it blew again. I replaced it with a standard bulb and it's fixed!! Defective LED I guess!!
Thanks ALOT!! Jason

For the future, post schematic request for the system you will be working on, that way, you will have the fuse locations ahead of time....should something go wrong.
