I assume you checked all the fuses, including hte ones under the hood, right?

If so, did you catually PULL them or shine light through them from behind?

You must have missed one.

Did you splice/cut any wires to do the install?

well the METER fuse is the dash, but there are more fuses than that controll all of that stuff.

You MUST have busted a wire.

So you DID check the ones under the hood right?

You can't just look to see if they are blown. Only about 2/3rds of the time, if they are blown hard will they show up.

You should check them with a meter (thats why they have contacts on the top of them, so you can check them while they are still plugged in).
