need help

[tymoreland]

okay so I'm at a loss here. after replacing my dome and cargo lights with LEDs, I've lost power to them completely (they won't turn on) as well as no power to my radio and map lights. I've checked the fuses and they all look good and tried unplugging and replugging the radio and reinserting the led lights but have gotten nothing. I would appreciate any help. thanks

OK, let's start here, what fuses did you check and HOW did you check them. Looking good if fine for movie stars, not fuses. Did you use a test light or voltmeter?

u know most leds are directional. try rotating them 180 deg in the light housing.

I've checked the acc fuse and the power 30a fuse. I don't have a test light or a voltmwter nor know how to use them

Did you at least change the fuses. If your not checking them with a test light or voltmeter Your waiting your time. Sometimes a visual inspection doesn't work. So change em out with new ones.

And you need to check the fuse for the radio also

yes I tried changing the fuses and got nothing. I don't even know if the fuses is the issue. I just don't know what else it could be

 

[tbones1369]

Well then your going to have to see if your getting power. So you'll need a voltmeter or test light. If your not getting power you prolly fried your relay

Did you try Shoot's suggestion? That would be my first guess as well. Buckaroo

... I've lost power to them completely (they won't turn on) as well as no power to my radio and map lights. I've checked the fuses and they all look good...

The radio uses 2 fuses, #5 and #27 located in the underdash fuse box. Did the clock go out also? (that's #27), if not then only replace #5.

Now you say you 'checked and they look good', what does that mean? I hope you mean tested, not just looked at. Many a fuse 'look good' yet don't work. Only testing or replacing with a known good one will work. Luck! :cowboy:

Maybe it helps that it is BOLD now? LED's are Directional, unlike a light bulb they are polarity sensitive.
