Hey,
I was putting in another amp and when I had my cd player out fooling with it, I guess two of the wires hit each other and a spark flew. Well my cd player is hooked to the fuse that controls interior lights and stuff like that. I checked that fuse and it was fine, and I also checked every fuse in the panel and they were fine. I have no interior lights and I'm trying to figure out what I did. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Dennis

Most cars have more then one fuse panel have you checked all of them? If you have the owners manual you should be able to look in it and it will tell you what fuses do what. And sometimes you cannot tell the fuse is blown just by looking at it. So I would suggest that you check them with a continuity tester.

It's a 1990 Ford Bronco II. The fuse controls interior lights and that chiming noise when you open the door (thats it as far as I know). I don't have the owner's manual, but I will look for another fuse panel. Also I changed the fuse already just to be safe and nothing.

If there is another fuse panel its hidden very very well. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. It's another 2 weeks before I get paid and could have it looked at by a professional. I'm worried I did something bad without knowing it.

There's gotta be a blown fuse somewhere. I'd do what bberman1 suggested and continuity check every fuse. You'd be surprised at how mis-labeled they often are (i.e. the fuse for the lights might be labeled radio or something, etc.) ------------- Ethan

Oh THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! Tested every fuse in the panel and the *very* last one was blown, even though it didn't look it. Really guys I appreciate this, I was scared I had done something really bad.
Thanks!

 Glad to hear you figured it all out, and that it wasn't something major (i.e. expensive)  ------------- Ethan
