My speedo, interior lights, and radio stopped working. Also my lock door switch wont go down? Any ideas guys. It all happen when I cut my hood light wire so that i can put my cowl hood. I went to check the fuse box And they all look fine.

Your help would be appreciated :)

You deff poped a fuse when you cut the wire. The wire cutters arched the wires when you cut them and it deff took out some fuses. Cheack all fuses not just the onea that should be bad.

I had that happen once. Check fuses under the dash. Can't remember what the slot number was, but I do remember it was a 10 amp fuse.

Yea sounds like a popped fuse, i believe there are two fuses that contorl all those functions. Have fun looking under the dash too, that is the biggest pain in the ass in my opinion because im 6' 2"

^^ im 6'0 lol ! Do you happen to know what 2 fuses?

no i dont i believe there are only 18 fuses under the dash and the black cover should have a couple replacments in it(atleast mine does). Check the owners manual. If you dont have an owners manual i could check mine.

Yep, that was the one, lol...at least I had the 10 amp part right. Now when/if that should happen to you again, you know exactly where to look.
