Blow fuse?

[wsdrummer06]

I went to go hook up my foglights into my parking and blew a fuse maybe? Everything when turned over comes on but the markers. Where is the fuse in the diagram aka what is it called

If you have an owners manual there are fuse diagrams in it, or I think there is also info on the fuse panels themselves.

You should always disconnect your battery when doing anything electrical.

its on the passenger's side fuse box...its the 2nd one down from the top on the longer row....its a 7.5 fuse..if any of this makes sense...lol

Ya I figured it out myself thank god! Ran a inline 20a and now I'm fine. Crapped my pants though lol

I hope that was a 20a fuse to start with. Upping fuses is pretty damn dumb.\
Going 7.5 to 10 can be acceptable but shouldn't be doing more then that.

Not to start an arguement but if u add stuff to a line (ie. Fog lights) shouldnt u up the fuse?

Other people were running 20 so wrong with running that

Most people run the fogs on the accessory/cig socket line which is 7.5a and up it to 10a. If you are upping 7.5a to 20a....that's plain wrong.

I'm not good on it all. the diy thread says put it to 20 but it runs to a 7.5 when you hook it to the parking lights.

to sum it up....


is it going to hurt anything if i put too big of a fuse in?

It can allow to much current to flow through and fry something else along the circuit.
