Blown fuse i blew a fuse on saturday when i hooked my battery up wrong and now my dome lights, radio, and my fuel gauges wont work now. can you help me

didnjt i see this question a few days ago ,i think they blew a fuse connecting up a secondary power source by the sound of it

Check condition of fuseable links at battery possitive. check both ends with test light as they may look ok but be open circut inside

Glad you solved it.

The most likely problem is a blown fuse. In the under hood fuse block look for a LARGE "maxi" fuse that is blown. If you find a blown one remove it and bring it to the auto parts store to match it up. It will cost about $10 or so.

Are you sure no fuse was blown? there are more than 1 fuse box (in engine and under dashboard).

Sounds like you blew a couple of fuses, check the fuse block and replace any blown fuses.  The fuse block is usually under the dash on the drivers side.
Hope this helps, if it does please rate my solution accordingly. Thanks, david

It depends on how long you had the battery hooked up backwards but check for any ground wires/straps from the engine to the frame or body that are burned in to.

check for a fusable link at the battery + terminal. This will be a piece of wire about 6 inches long, maybe 1/8 In in diameter that is attached to the + terminal of the battery. See if the insulation for this piece of wire is cooked looking. Give 9it a slight tug, does it pull apart? This is the fusable link. it needs to be replaced. By it at the autoparts store. Maybe worthwhile to have a shop install it to get really good connections here.

Note the + terminal of the battery is always slightly larger in diameter than the negative.

Good Luck!

I would remove the dome light, and disconnect the wiring connector, and then put in another fuse. If it does not blow, I would think that the dome light switch is shorted to ground.

interior fuse should be the culprit. Look for the Radio fuse inside (normally 10A red) sometimes labeled CABIN on the fuse layout
