Default Lights won't come on.....

Not to long ago i put my new amber corners in and i saw that one of the corners were'nt on so i popped it out and twitsted the bulb, cause i thought maybe it wasn't in all the way, when i did that all of the my lights went out parking, headlights, interior. does any body know what fuse to check for this because i checked all my underdash fuses and the main fuse next to the battery and they were all okay, has this happened to anybody or does anbody know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.....

??? You sure you checked all your fuses ???
Does your car start ok? Radio work? Is your battery weak/dead?

But it really sounds like your fuses..

yeah you need to check to see if the fuse is blown (did you actually pulled out every fuse to see if it's bad?).

your car not turning off maybe your ignition switch. on mine the on position wouldn't work, so i had to mickey mouse a wire to get the car to stay on after i cranked it. maybe your ignition switch is stuck to the on position (internally).

Well I got the lights to turn on, the fuse was in the right slot 19(Dash Lights, Taillights, Parking Lights) but the slot wasn't getting power, so i ran a test light through the other slots and 17(Daytime running lights control unit (canada)) came up with power goin to it so i took the fuse out of 19 and put it into 17 and and my lights worked.:dunno: i don't know how that worked out but i don't care as long as my lights work, but thats still weird.

I checked my ignition switch also for the big power sitiuation but that wasn't it because my radio won't come on until i have it in the on position and it also turns off when i put the key in the off poition.

I'm gonna start another thread about the car being on hot all the time....
Thanks for everybodys input!:thumbup:
