Instrament panel lights

[HotBoxSHO]

I successfully installed my new Alpine CD player today. The problem is when I was installing it, I accidentally touched some of the wires together, and my instrament panel flickered once, and then went out. I checked fuse 8 but its fine. Everything else works. Any ideas?

Check more fuses. I have seen more than one fuse identified incorrectly in the manual as to the systems protected by it.

i agree with sdpatt. check them all. oh yeah and make sure u check both corners of the fuse. for soem reason i checked one side of the fuse and tyhey all worked but my windows/locks didn't work, but then my dad lectured me and said check both sides which i forgot to do and bingo it worked., found the fuse, and ****! the problem was gone.

Ok thanks guys, I'll check all the fuses.

Sure enough, a 5 amp fuse was blown instead of the 15 amp fuse that the manual said ran the dash lights. I replaced it, and now they work. Thanks for the advice.
