Help with electrical issues!
Hey guys, installed some fog lights on teg worked great for half of the day. Today i woke up and CD player, Sun Roof, cigarette lighter all not working. WTF I am thinking a fuse blew, fogs still work. I disconnected the fogs to see if that would help anything it did not. Going to check Thurs morning, the fuse i am looking for is Accessories right? Thanks, Brian

Are you using a relay circuit to switch the foglamps on and off?
If you are trying to run the foglights directly off the same circuit as the radio, you will not have enough amperage.
To diagnose the problem, use the fuse box diagram that is mounted to the inside of the fuse panel cover. Inspect the fuses for each system (sunroof, stereo, etc) that is not working. Report back with your findings.
And no matter what DO NOT INSTALL A HIGHER AMPERAGE FUSE to replace the blown fuses. If you install a 15 amp fuse in a 10 amp circuit, you risk an electrical fire that will destroy the car.
