2 of the little 12+v battery terminals at the bottom on my fuse block don't work for ****

Any certain fuse pertain to these 2? All my fuses looked good but I could have missed one

They stopped working when the power wire for my radio arched off of the dash



Also,
Where the hell did this bulb come from?

Was randomly hanging under the driver side of the dash

I have the same bulb hanging under my dash as well..... I'm thinking it's a courtesy/footwell light, because it lights up everytime I open the door....

Damn, bring it to me and let me reorganize that mess.

I'd check any fuse above those two. If they are good, you are in for deeper problems, such as a melted wire or the back of the fuse box.

 

[Manbearpig]

I doubt it will make it down there haha

So you wired your stereo in those plugs and shorted them out? Everything else works fine?

 

[Manbearpig]

Dome lights were on the bottom one radio/tach was in the top one

 

[Irishman999]

Have you checked out a wiring diagram on it at all? It looks like there is some fusable links you could check.

Do you have a volt meter?

Me until about a week ago haha.

A week ago? Sheesh. I bought my Fluke 117 at a garage sale for $1 in April.

 

[Irishman999]

The appearance of the device kept me away for alot of years. My dad uses a Fluke also, he showed me how to use them but I forgot. There is alot of settings and the few digits and weird symbols don't explain much. The horseshoe, how does that relate to continuity?!

 

[Manbearpig]

lol horseshoe do you mean ohm?

 

[Irishman999]

Yea the ohm's, I still dont understand how that relates to measuring resistance.
