[shinobi]

hey everyone. im really not sure if what ive got is a common problem. i highly doubt it but i do hope i find some kind of solution. my newly bought car has a problem of dashboard lights not lighting up(atm im using little lights that sit on top of the plastic and shine onto the dashboard! its really lame) and my clock always gets reset to 1:00 after i turn the power to the car off. also it looses any saved radio stations... not a big deal but another symptom of my problem. so can anyone help. this problem really sucks... any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Panel fuse and radio clock fuse.

i have checked all the fuses, and tested them, they are all functioning just fine, only one was blown. i replaced it turned the car on, and no fix. any other ideas!?

It's very possible the fuse blew again when you replaced it. Check the one that was blown again. If it's bad then something is shorted out. If you have an aftermarket radio installed that's the first place I'd start checking wires.

ill deff. check that next time i get a chance, and i dont think its an aftermarket radio/cd player. but who knows...

yeah i might have blown back and that means you have a short...
