    Honda Accord Fuse Panel Not Working
    I have a 2002 Honda Accord. I tried to hook up a remote wire for amplifier and now my radio, clock, power locks, interior light all will not work. Could this be a problem with the relay? Thanks :(

    Check all under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    I looked at all the fuses and none of them are blown.

    It seems to me its just one side of the fuse panel that the instruments are not working on

    Did you test all under-hood fuses?

    No I pulled them out and looked at them. I am going to have them tested today. It seems to be just one half of the fuse panel that the instruments are not working on.

    To me, it's possible the 50A Ignition Fuse, in the under-hood fuse box, blew. It provides power, through the ignition switch/harness to the under-dash fuse box. With the procedure given earlier, it's a simple matter to test all fuses with a test light or multimeter. The 50A Ignition Fuse is easy to observe visually, however, since it has a large window.

    Another thought is that you put a fuse, in the under-dash fuse box, back in the wrong slot, when you removed it to look at it. That's why it's best to use a test light or multimeter.

    If the ignition fuse blew would I still be able to crank the car? I drove it to work this morning.

    No. Therefore, I'm inclined to think a fuse may have been replaced in the wrong slot. Not all slots are used. Obtain an under-dash fuse box diagram for your car and check things out. Other than that, I don't know what else to suggest right now.

    I never removed a fuse until this happened. I am thinking maybey I shorted out a relay or half of the fuse panel itself.

    It's hard for me to imagine that it's more than a blown fuse or two. The only thing I can suggest is getting a test light or multimeter and testing for power "through" each fuse. That will be key.
