Ok so i was adding a LED light that i had in my cargo area...

The thing that went wrong was that the positive and negative wires touched so a short was created, now the interior lights dont work, te radio has no power, no power door locks, and the alarm does not work...

I hope my problem is as simple as replacing a fuse, but which fuse is it!!!????

thanks

 

Yeah, it's most likely a fuse.

There should be a "map" of the fuse box in both the owner's manual and often on the inside cover of the fuse box. I have yet to look at mine, but this is how most cars are set up. Worst case senario... start pulling fuses until you find the one that's blown.

 

yeah... i just started doing that...

i pulled every single one under the dash and no LUCK!!!!

there was no reference in the manual to interior lights...

but whats weird is how the power door locks and alarm when out a well as the radio...

i checked radio fuse - its good
i checked power door lock fuse - its good


i dont know what to do

 

I don't know what year your Fit is, however I've got the manual for the 2009 Fit/Fit Sport/Fit Nav

Fuse #14 is indicated as protecting the circuits "Key Lock/Radio". It's a 7.5A fuse.
Fuse #27 is indicated as "Door Lock Main". It's a 30A fuse
Fuse #61 is indicated as "Radio". It's a 30A fuse.

Maybe this will help, I don't know.

 

yeah its a 2008, but thank you for trying...

what i dont get is how i pulled all the mini fuses one by one, which was a big pain in the BUTT in the dark and its like freezing outside... with no luck...


i think i may have to take it to the dealer and plead incompetence to the fact that i was doing something i wasnt supposed to be doing... lol...

 

There is another fuse box under the engine bay that also has a set of small fuses. It's right next to the battery. It's a triangle box. I bet it's in there that's burnt.

 

this is why people shouldn't be playing with their own cars electronics. 2 threads in a week of people blowing fuses.

 

The fuse your looking for is in engine compartment fuse box call Back up and is #8

 

engine fuse box there are main fuses check those one on them is burnt

 

First, let me say that I trust your opinion and have used it on several occasions and appreciate your expertise on the forums. However, I strongly disagree with your statement here, and I think it goes against pretty much everything Fitfreak stands for.

Without these forums I would have never trusted myself to touch any part of my car, ever. Since joining Fitfreak, seeing the DIY's, opinions from experience, and responses from experts in the industry, I have been genuinely inspired to experiment more with not only my Fit, but other cars which I own, and have performed quite a few successful upgrades, and most importantly have benefited and learned a LOT in the process.

I too, blew a fuse a few weeks ago and the good people of Fitfreak.net (notably HONDAMATIC) came through for me in a big way the same night and led me exactly to the correct fuse saving me a trip to the dealer. It turned out to be a faulty LED which had polarity issues from the factory and would not have worked regardless of who installed it.

I realize that you can't condone people hacking away at their car's internals at a whim......but at the same time everyone has a right to do whatever they want with their car, even if they lack specialized training. Fitfreak.net should remain a trusted source to explore our shared interest in all areas of the Honda Fit, and I for one will continue to offer any support I can for all fellow members, regardless of their presumed level of knowledge, understanding or training. Is this supposed to be a forum where everybody already knows everything about their cars?

setter11 - I believe fitoromocto mentioned fuse #8 under your hood, I would check there first, give us an update when you get the chance!

 

lemme check.........

 

it was indeed tha tlil son of a B***H hiding in the triangular fuse box in my hood... thank you all for the help!!!

and for the WISE GUYS! comments, this site is based off of people doing most of their mods themselves... bad message that you left, i am sure many were offended in some way....

 

try fuse 8 under hood fuse box "back up"

dam got beat.. hahah good thing it was just the fuse

 

i keep blowing the back up fuse every 2 days i drive the car every day all of a suden its happed and i didnt put any thing new in it help me please this is getting to be a pain i lose my radio doom light door locks

 

is everything in those circuits stock? maybe its a loose wire

 

lol, put a higher amp fuse in...jk.

all i can think of is something's shorting ...n that leads to a crazy guessing game.

 

i think its the led light got to see wut happened later on is day two wen it usually happens i got a kenwood in dash system witch i had no problem with and a 2,000 watt amp which i had for a while with the radio

 

if it happens everyday try disconnect something everyday and see and check your crimps etc too.. or jiggle connections while the car is in acc

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but the same thing happened to me today. lights locks and radio all crapped out. my brother and his friend came to help me both of which are honda techs and we couldnt find a solution. Im flippin glad i found this thread cause i was about to raise hell tomorow at the dealer lol thank you fitfreak!

 

ya man! No Prob! When i was working I was all excited to do the MOD then CRAP! but FFs came to the rescue...
