31351, fuse problem
Posted by loudgs, Sep-18-02 08:15 AM
could anyone tell me where the fuse is for the HVAC and the backlight to the speedo/tach/fuel/temp guages is? I checked the guage fuse under the dash and it's good, but they're still not coming on since I installed my amp, which has power coming direct from the battery, but everything else works....lights on the rearview, blinker signals, cel, brake light...etc, anyone know if there's a hidden fuse or something? thanks

check all your fuses under your hood man. With mine for some reason, if i fuck with that hvac wire, i burn my ignition fuse under the hood. check it. Its one of those big 30a ones. THE BIG ONES

"but they're still not coming on since I installed my amp"

thats the key statment. did you mess around w/ the headunit when you installed it? theres a short in the wiring somwhere. u suggest you pull the headunit back out and look around a bit.
