Something bad has happened! Help PLEASE

[Jake007g]

Well I've just taken my spoiler off to carbon wrap it, come to put it back on and plugged everything back in. Come to test the brake light and I noticed not only was the spoiler brake light not working but neither were either of the two rear brake lights. Sat in the drivers seat and upon closer inspection noticed that my mile'o'metre, electronic petrol gauge and engine temp gauge were all missing.

I need all these to be working ASAP as I travel over 35miles a day for work and I'm back in at 8am boxing day....and due to Christmas being here all local garages etc are closed.

So basically I'm relying on help off you guys :')

Will love anybody who can help me forever

Blown fuse?

 

[Jake007g]

Hm, probably should of checked that first but I panicked so came straight on here. I'll go and check them now and get back when I'm done

First thing to check for is the fuse.

Did you disconnect the battery whilst you were working on it?

 

[Jake007g]

Which fuse(s) am I looking at? I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to this...



EDIT: And nope I didn't D/C the battery, should I of? :s

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Look at your manual for the car, It will give you a fuse board layout, I don't know which one it is off the top of my head and i don't have a manual but i'm sure someone will tell you, If not just look on the Renault website, they usually have a PDF manual

 

[Joe#]

As above really.

I'd of disconnected it personally

 

[Jake007g]

Cheers guys, was my brake light fuse. Confusing though, why did that make my dashboard lights go off too? (they're also working again now I replaced the fuse)

 

[JonnyGee]

Disconnected a battery to take a spoiler off, why?:S

 

[fletch8]

were all your dash (mpg, petrol left etc) not working or just a couple of them?

 

[Jake007g]

The lights around the speedo+revs were ok, just the trip computer, petrol and temp weren't working :s

Again, thanks again guys, I love you all! Completely off topic, I was wrapping my hazard light panel yesterday, and when I plugged my hazard light button back in something was wrong with it, the hazards were always on but turned off when the button was pushed down (like a push-to-break connection). Any ideas on that haha?

Those hazard switches are delicate/weak and fail all the time, if it keeps doing it and you've checked the connection etc then get one off eBay for ~£10. Keep the original triangle faceplate to swap to the new switch

 

[Jake007g]

Thank-you very much my friend

Wow you really don't have luck with electronics web taking things off the car ghee

I've never personally experienced a problem with changing the spoiler off and on? The connector is is to disconnect and it only goes on one way so can't see how you would have blown a fuse. What a strange life we lead.
