    Well while i was throwing in my gauges i accidentally touched a few wires together. long story short, a bunch of sparks and now the lights to the climate controll knobs/OEM boost gauge light doesnt work anymore. I know i can just grab a new fuse a checker or somthin but i'm just not sure what one i need to replace in teh fuse box. Anyone?

    You have two fuse boxes. Check them out.

    It should say in your owners manual IIRC most do. Also most fuse boxes have a couple extra in there.

    check the fuses on your LEFT tray on the lower LEFT of your steering column. OPEN and PULL UP then yoru fuses are revealed. I POPPED one of my fuses...the ILUMI,AIRBAG,SRS and my cluster stop working....but the lights where on...the power window died too..... the car functioned like it had a dead alternator or dead battery. ahaaah

    well i just systematically went through and replaced them all in the main fuse box and nothing, could this be more than just a fuse? the heat controlls still work fine, its just the illumination lights

    depends on what wire.. if you know which one exactly you could run another one in its place... but you would have to find it (if that's the case....)

    Did you check the inside fuse box??


    Its pretty doubtful that you'd have to replace the whole harness is a wire was fried :roll:
