So I went out to my car tonight and none of my gauges are working or the lights on the gauges, the only lights that come on the gauge are the e-brake light and seatbelt light, the radio doesn't light up or anything when I turn on the parking lights the radio light goes off the only lights working are the lights around the temp *****, do I need to start checking fuses? Which fuses do I check the owners manual doesn't have them labeled. Its not only the lights the rpm gauge, speedo everything nothing moves when I start it up, I tried searching and couldn't find anything. I'm at work right now so I need ideas on which fuses to check when I get home and can have some light

check the fuse panel that is at the driver side kick panel. One of the red fuses controls all those lights, but i can't remember which one exactly off the top of my head (i believe it is the 2nd or 3rd to the left of the fuse puller). if you haven't figured it out by tomorrow, i will take a look.

ok thanks, I wish I knew which fuse was which, anyone have a diagram for that?

there is a diagram of the fuses on the back of the panel that you take off to see the fuses.

that diagram on the back of the panel isn't really useful, I did manage to get the lights working again but the gauges don't work, I managed to drop one of the 10a fuses down below the fuse box and its now lost, the spare 10a doesn't fit, I don't know why its in there, FML, its the one on the very end closest to the door its labeled "electro parts"

well I managed to find the fuse and it was fine, put it back in then turned on the car and everything is working, I did get a CEL for P0463 Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit High Input, I cleared it out so I will see if it comes back on or not.

ok cause my pioneer 3100 wont shut off when ignition is off...so im going to wire the yellow "constant 12v+" wire to an empty fuse slot that is hot with ignition...hope that works, if not, then i have to tap into another fuse thats hot with ignition...

whhhaaaa??? did you wire the 3100 with a wiring harness (like metra)? if so, you shouldn't have to run the wires from the back of the radio to the fuse panel at all. you just need to make sure the yellow 12v constant wire from the back of the radio is connected to the yellow wire on the harness, and that the acc wire from the radio is connected to the acc wire on the harness.

Hi there guy's , God bless you all, did someone came up with the fix of this problem? I have the same thing happened to my car 2003 350z, and had changed the ac amp module 3 times and nothing, checked all the fuses in the car and they are good, any other thing I should check. Thanks
