Electrics...

Okay so when trying to get one of the leads out of my standard stereo. there was a little spark and that was it. now i have no interior light, radio, clock etc. but my cigarette lighter still works, making me wonder, its not the fuse.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

must be a fuse

thats what i thought. but the same fuse controls the radio, clock and cigarette lighter. so its left me a bit baffled. :s

must be a fuse, check over the fuse board carefully.

cars/electrics ca do silly things! Similar happened to me when i had my first car, nothing inside would work stereo/clock/light etc until you revved the car. I changed the alternator and it turned out to be a fuse. Learn from your mistakes eh!

Will 100% be a fuse. I lost all the rear lights on my car about 8 months ago and the AA guy could not find the problem. Went to renault and it was the fuse that does the cigaret lighter :/ Was impossible to find and no idea why it would be linked to the rear lights.

how much did that set you back mate?

Look at the inside of the plastic fuse box cover, find the necessary fuse, change it.

Come back and tell us if this doesn't work.

failing that check each fuse one at a time.

It will be a blue 15Amp fuse for the radio. A baby sized one. I plugged my charger splitter cable in and it had a loose wire which arced and blew the fuse. So i changed it and it was fine.

Sorted. Cheers for the advice guys, it was a big 20 amp fuse not the mini 15 amp fuse although that was blew as well haha.
