It sounds as if you have an electrical problem that needs to be checked. You may even have the wrong fuse for your brake lights.
Fuses protect the vulnerable electrical components of a vehicle, and when a fuse blows it means there is to much voltage flowing through the factory rated wiring. Finding the problem in a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer requires a user to patiently sift through all the factory wiring with a spark tester or multimeter to find the faulty wire.
The fuses under the dash of a 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer are responsible for protecting various electrical circuits and components within the vehicle's interior, such as the dashboard lights, audio system, heating and air conditioning controls, and other essential electronic features. If a fuse blows, it typically indicates a short circuit or overload in that particular circuit, which prevents damage to the wiring and connected devices. Regularly checking and replacing blown fuses can help maintain the vehicle's electrical system functionality.
Whats the problem? Blows cold air with the heat settings on?
Check wiring and sockets for dead short to ground at: Parking/Tail and dash lights Remove all bulbs and sockets -replace 1 at a time until fuse blows Investigate that socket Check wiring and sockets for dead short to ground at: Parking/Tail and dash lights Remove all bulbs and sockets -replace 1 at a time until fuse blows Investigate that socket
If parking lights and dash lights are not working and fuse blows out, there might be a problem with battery corrosion. Check the components specific to the circuits of the affected lights. It might be loose.
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.
Probably the Tail light fuse is blown. You also lose dash lights when this fuse blows also.
first thing I'd check is THE TAILIGHT fuse--if it blows, no tailights AND no dash lights. Good luck
you have a short in the wires for your dash and lights So what do I do to fix it?
The fuses blows out and all of the lights in that building go out.
A loose or corroded ground wire will cause the fuse to blow. Check the ground wires on your brake lights.
