| The safest and quickest way to check your fuses is to use a digital multi-meter (DMM). Using a DMM prevents the possibility of removing a fuse, especially difficult to see under-dash fuses, and replacing it in the wrong slot. If you disconnect the negative battery cable first, set your DMM on audible ohms and touch the leads to the metal test points on the top of each fuse. When you hear the "beep," the fuse checks out as O.K. Using this approach, you can check all under-hood and under-dash fuses in two minutes. If you don't want to disconnect the negative battery cable, set your DMM on DCV, turn the ignition ON, and proceed to check each fuse, looking at the voltage displayed for verification.
Using this approach, I would recheck every fuse on your vehicle. It's easier than you think to overlook an important fuse, so I would first consult a wiring diagram for your car.
Next, I would see if you triggered an anti-theft interlock. |
