Default HELP: My dash panel won't light up and my headunit won't work.

Help. I was in the middle of installing my headunit, and then the headunit shut off. I couldn't turn it back on. I notice that my dash lights won't go on. Did I short circuit something? Does anyone know what to do???

Did you check the connection to the guages on top?, if that's not it, it might be a blown fuse

You don't need one. The lid of the fuse box has a diagram that tells you what is what.

Ok. I've found the fuse box, and opened it up. How do you take out the fuse?? It feels like it's really stuck in there. It hurts my fingers trying to squeeze in there and pull.

Also, does Nissan give me spare fuses? Where are they if they do?

Okay, there's two fuse boxes on the 350z for the stereo. The constant hot (clock/preset saving) lead fuse is by the battery in that little plastic fusebox in there. The ignition hot fuse is in the driver's side kickpanel.

There should be a fuse puller somewhere. It's likely it's in the kickpanel with the other fusebox. You can probably buy the fuses at pep boys or a place like that.
