    ah kinda figured that but here is something your car may have some a4's did some did'nt theres I hope a small fuse box on the bottom way way back behind the climate control module. That's your culprit right there if it's not anything in your drivers side fuse box. Best of luck.

SOURCE: 1997 Crown Vic blows radio fuses

The quickest way to find a short circuit is by putting a bulb in place of the fuse. Anytime the time the bulb lights there is a load. And if the load is a shorted wire the brightness of the bulb will give you a hint. So while you're at it, finding a 'short' is a quicky...keep your eyes on the bulb. gotcha!

SOURCE: 1999 Audi A4 Climate Control Removal/Installation

You have to remove the trim panel around the stereo/climate control to expose the screws that hold it in place. Once you do that, and the screws are removed, it pulls straight out and unplugs. No need to disconnect the battery and no tricks to it once it slides out.

SOURCE: 2001 Jetta Interior Climate Control Bulb

There is one bulb (for all three knobs) behind the center knob. Turn the knob to the straight up and down 12 o'clock position and pull the knob straight out. Wrap a soft cloth around the jaws of a pliers, that works the best. Pull the bulb out with a needle nose wrapped with a rubber band. The bulb is a sylvania 2721, available at most auto parts stores. You can also use a small piece of vacuum tubing to pull the bulb out. (pull straight out, don't twist it)

2010 HHR I INSTALLED FOG LAMPS AND A SWITCH. WHEN I DID THIS I BLEW A FUSE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT SAYS===SERVICES===POWER STEERING====TRACTION CONTROL===AND IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF LOW GEAR.

What fuse blew ? What did you hook up to for battery power for the fog lamps ? What aftermarket fog lamps ? Hope you know you can't just hook up aftermarket stuff just any old where . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop. Let them see what you did wrong .

1985 Cadillac Fleetwood d elegant installing a aftermarket radio lost the lights in the electronic climate control and fuel gauge.. fuse is still good where to look next

next I would check wires going to fuel gauge and climate control .more than likely when you took out radio the wiring might had come loose. if still no lights you can put back old radio and see if you have lights. wiring might be part of all three.then it might be possible those bulbs for fuel gauge and climate control might just have burned out especially being an 85

Need location of fog lite control module

Why you need the fog control module ?
If you front fog lite isn't working.
1) Check fuse for fog lights - both.
2) You need to check the voltage.
3) Check if fog light bulb isn't dead.
If you already have checked this all out.
I searched on google for this module you need.

My 2001 mazda tribute does not have fog lights on it now how hard is it to put them on

It is a fairly simple job, as long as you follow the instructions that come with the fog lights. That is, if you are going to get aftermarket lights. If you get factory lights from a dealership, there may not be any instructions or mounting brackets with them. There are many different styles of fog lights that would look good on your Mazda. And the aftermarket lights come with everything needed for the installation. Take your time, do the job one step at a time, and pay extra close attention to the wiring instructions. Good luck.

It turned out that disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it reset the control module and fixed the problem.
