Need help!!!

I was driving round today.....car was working just fine jamming to the radio....headlights on foglights.......crusing.... i get home shut the car off and notice that the dome light did not turn on.......checked the map lights and nothing, rear hatch light dead....

I caulk it up to some new led lights for the dome and the map lights.....jap crap i guess...

i lock the doors with the remote and nothing.....the headlights dont turn on (with the car off)

so start the engine and no prob cranks right up....... no interior lights other than the gauges....i notice no power to the radio....

I check all fuses and none are blown........

any suggestions..........

Really? You invest in a manufacturer with acclaimed quality, a company that hasn't filed for bankruptcy, and you still use the term "Jap crap"? WTF?

Back to the point. Immediately when you turned off the ignition you noticed that the interior lights wouldn't turn on? If so, I think your alternator is not charging your battery for some reason. When you started it to go on this drive, did it start fine? How long was this drive?

TIP: Stop using the ellipsis.

You burn out the 10amp fuse most likely.

It is under the orange plug at the top left of fuse box.

I believe he was talking about the new bulbs he installed. At least that's what he "caulked it up" to.

Some people have to hold down the "period" key while thinking. Don't be so condescending.

The new led lights were the subject that was being described as Jap Crap!!

I would have used Ellipsis if i was trying to not write an specific word (explitive) and i would have used three periods in a row. i used the many periods as a pause in thought......no sticky fingers on the period lol.

I do thank you all who checked out the thread and definetly it helped solve my problem!!
