I was changing the headlamps and dome light in my 98, and I they're not working now, along w/ the moonroof and power windows.I'm pretty sure I blew out the fuses on the right side of the fuse panel, because I didnt disconnect the battery 1st. Am i correct, and what do i do now? Thanks!

Do you have an owner's manual?

The fuse locations are in there.
 






Well, checked the fuse panel, and it was the relay fuse for all those things that went out (#26 on the panel)... Looks like I'll be the 1st one in @ Pepboys tomorrow:rolleyes:

just to be sure since I'm a rook, all i need is the replace the #26 fuse thats out, and everything should be fine, right? should i buy one w/ more amplitude than 10? i didnt think colored lights effected power requirements. Can anyone help?
 






You just need to replace the fuse and everything should work. Replace it only with the correct size that the manual call for. Never replace it with one that is bigger as it could cause wire damage if that circuit happens to have a fault in it. Hope this helps ..Jim
 






Just to check out the new hook up tonight w/out waiting for PBs, I took the 10A out of the heated mirror circuit and put it in as a replacement, and the lights look great... Also put hypers in the reverse taillights, makes a great difference. For $8 that was a good mod. day to start with... thanks for your help!
