You may have to replace a circuit breaker (30amp ) or more, your blower motor may be part of the ignition system, it takes alot to blow a CB, but maybe thats what you did. under the hood , near battery, find the box that houses all or most of the CB'S. IT SHOULD BE clearly marked, which CB is for each circuit. look for the ignition circuit, replace it, also check if theres one for blower motor, this is probably a fuse only @ fuse box inside the car. see how this works , and let a qualified mech., wire up your fog lights, good luck

Had very similar problem. If your ignition fuse under the hood is blown, (30 amp fuse), then here's something to check. It was my problem and I fixed it and have had no troubles since. Ok, stand in front of car with hood up. Looking at the engine, just to the left of the front left corner (corner of engine closest to the fuse box) there is a wire harness that rubs against this corner of the engine block. Mine had rubbed through the plastic housing of that harness, through two wire insulations (both wires were black with red spots or something like that but there were alot of wires in the bundle--had to look at all of them to confirm no others were worn through) of the two wires that go to the ignition system and waa laa shorted straight to the engine block which is ground. I picked up on this tip that wires get worn thru at this spot via the internet. Anyway, using electrical tape and such and using tie wraps to pull the harness up away from the engine block, this fixed the problem. It took awhile even after the internet tip cuz it is just that way working on cars. I had blown several fuses befor getting a 'resettable' 30 amp fuse and hooking it up....I thought the problem was in the ignition switch in the steering column...it wasn't...All that to say, I tried a lot of things before finding the tip on the internet of where the short could be. I took pics and such. If you'd like me to post pics let me know.

SOURCE: tail lights on 2004 nissan maxima out.

hey i just fixed mine with the same exact problem, look, all you have to do is open your 3rd fuse box which is next to your washing fluid on the passenger´s side under the hood, for that you need to remove the cover wich is pretty easy (5 staples all you need is a thin flat screw driver to lift the center of the staple and then the whole staple) then you take off the cover and then you open the fuse cover, you are looking for the TAILLIGHT fuse wich is the first on the upper row from right to left if you are standing on the passenger side looking towards the drivers side (you can also look for that fuse in the fuse box cover diagram) remembre is a 15A fuse, replace it, jaja and thats how you save some dollars. saludos desde guadalajara mexico.

SOURCE: 1998 nissan maxima fuse location

bacon79: inside the car, in front of your left knee in the fuse block you are interested in looking at.
Remove the cover. You will see 3 rows of "ATO" type fuses arranged in a vertical fashion.
Often they will put a number to the right of the fuse.
In your specific case, you are interested in the center row of fuses.
Look at the top fuse which should be a 7.5 amp and the number next to it should be "26". Anyway, if you remove this fuse and look through it, it will either be burned through the center, have a hairline crack, or be solid. If it is the later and the dome light doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can help you.

Fog lights not working on 2006 Nissan Maxima

The most likely cause is a 'short' in the wiring. Remove the light fitting and take a good look at the connections on the actual light fitting. Look for dirty or damaged parts. Check the wires and the connector blocks are clean, shiny and are not damaged. Then check the light fitting itself for damage. Check the seal where the light fitting fits against the bodywork. If moisture or water is getting past it can affect the lights.

2004 nissan maxima fog light fuse location want to check the fuse fog lights not working

System Description EKS0058X Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position the BCM (body control module) receives input signal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The central processing unit of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When activated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps. OUTLINE Power is supplied at all times ? through 15A fuse [No. 43, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)] ? to front fog lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) ? through 15A fuse [No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)] ? to CPU (central processing unit) in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room). Power is also supplied at all times ? through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box) ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 55 ? through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in the fuse block (J/B)] ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 42. When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied ? to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) ? through 10A fuse [No. 1 located in the fuse block (J/B)] ? to BCM (body control module) terminal 38. When the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, power is supplied

1998 jeep grand cherokee limited fog lights don't work.

This means you have a short. I am assuming you are talking about the fog light fuse. Does this fuse blow whether the fog lights are off? or just when turned on?

If the fuse blows when the switch is off the switch is bad too. If the fuses only blows when the switch is turned on you have a short in the wiring or bulb.

I don't know if you have test equipment so first I would say to remove both driving bulbs from their sockets and see if there is corrosion. Fix that problem if there is corrosion.

Then install a fuse without the bulbs and see if the fuse blows. If you have a test light you can bridge the fuse panel without putting a fuse in. If there is a connection you have a hot wire grounding. If there is no problem install one light, fuse or bridge the fuse holder and see if 1 light works. Try each side. This way you can isolate the problem. Then visibly inspect wiring.

Fog lights not working

use a test light to check for power do this where you plug in your bulb is no power then trace wires testing in the wires periodically to check for broken wires if everything checks out fine next check the fog light switch.

98 Jeep Cherokee Fog lights

It's definitely the switch...I bought two of 'em so far...known bug. I don't use the fog lights as much anymore , but the "Airtex" oem equivalent switch from Rockauto seems to be holding up well. If you dissamble your broke switch you'll probably see evidence that it is beginning to melt and theres alot, maybe too much, grease, which may or may not have been the cause of the bad, heating contacts inside switch.
If I remember right, even though the foglights have a relay there is still full amperage going through the switch or something....don't qoute me on that last statement.
