today when I went to jumpstart the car, I hooked up the jumper leads backwards and fried the 120 amp fuse under the hood. I replaced that, but now the radio, clock, and the gauge lights aren't working. the gauge fuse under the dash was blown, I replaced that, but still no lights.


what can i do now besides replace the gauges? is there something else that controls all these things that i need to replace now? this is my bosses daughters car, so i need to get it figured out.

 

the signal lights work, the high beam light works, its just the clock, the radio and the speedo/tach lights that are not working.


should I try replacing the speedometer assembly to see if that fixes it? maybe each component is fried?


could it be the ecu that's fried?


anyone have ANY idea's???

 

Everything is fused for protection, therefore I would not start replacing components without verifying all fuses first. I do note that in the electrical schematics that the Audio, Cruise, Center Display,power antenna, and clock operate off the same fuse link.

 

There is a little yellowish box in your fuse box under the hood. It has 2 fuses in it. Sometimes it pops up to prevent the fuses from blowing. I had the same problem and pushing that down fixed it.
