April 14, 200521 yr My brother tried installing a new radio in my Grand Marquis and while he was installing it he must of blown a fuse to the inside car lights, because no light in my car works, expect for the headlights. And also the the thing that tells the time doesn't come on anymore. I was wondering that once a fuse blows in a car can and is it easy to be fixed?

April 14, 200521 yr Fuses are one of the easiest things you will ever deal with. If that is the only problem, which it sounds like it should be, you got off easy.

The only thing is he didn't even touch the fuse box, just where the radio was..

April 14, 200521 yr Hey, Begood, what kind of car is this? The reason I ask: Most American cars when the dome light is out, the cigarette lighter is also out (same fuse), and the radio is on it's own fuse. But, I noticed in my wife's Nissan that the radio and the clock, that's in the radio are on different fuses. It doesn't make much sense to me to have a different fuse for the clock, but that's what the problem was.
