Fuse busted........

Hey guys, I just drove home today, and upon my return home, something went wrong with my lights I guess and now my driving lights (the yellow corners and the front 2 small LEDs) won't come on anymore


my guess is that the fuse is busted?

if so, where is the fuse located specifically? if it is the interior or the main fuse box? if its on the main fuse box, which one is it? is the the one labeled egi? or is it Drive? I this sucks cus now I can't drive worth a crap at night..........

also need to know where can I get replacement fuses..........and what type do I have to buy specifically

open glove box, remove Owners Manual, open to Index page, lookup Fuse

in summary: RTFM

I'm up right now for the Woot-Off so I'll be nice and look it up........
Its a 10A fuse in the engine compartment and is the top-most 10A fuse (looking from the front).
This includes your taillights, license plate light, parking lights, and the front & rear side markers.
Looking at the electrical diagram, this is coming from the TNS relay which is the only relay on the left side of the same compartment. So something else to consider if the fuse is ok.
Hope this helps.

It learns to READ or it gets the hose... Geez Taj, I am really getting sick of these retarded threads you keep starting where you could have EASILY looked up the answer on your own. You troll this forum enough, that I would have thought you would know where to find stuff like this before.

Lights seem to be controlled by the fuse box under the hood. The underside of the fuze box cover there tells you what fuses control what.

Taj, has there been any mods done to the electrical system, like the fog light mod?

Your not suppose to use the fog lights when driving. It's against the law unless there is fog.

I hate xxx@#$% like this that blind you at night.

If you need those to see GOD help us all.
