    Default Complete Electric Failure!

    :w00t:Wow,

    Okay so yesterday I got my Diode Dynamics LED kits and was installing my new bulbs. License plate light went fine, then to vanity. I have no idea what i was thinking but I was like damnit I cant see let me turn on the dome light for some extra light lol. Basically shorted out the vanity bulb with a screwdriver. Then all of my electrical stuff stopped working. Stereo, display, proximity key, windows, locks, all interior lighting, etc....

    I was freaked out!

    Anyways I went and got some extra fuses and a fuse tester and I tested every single fuse in the engine bay and drivers side and they all were fine....

    I was fearing it was something really terrible. I came back up stairs and was reading through the users manual and I stumbled across

    "P/CON MEMORY"

    This is the fuse that is like locked down with the yellow clip on the far right hand side of the cabin fuse box. I figured eh what the hell so I took it out and tested it and sure enough the 10A MEMORY fuse was dead.

    The owners manual lists this fuse related to Trunk room lamp, Power outside mirror, MAP lamp, Auto light & Photo sensor/Security indicator, Multimonitor, RF receiver Instrument Cluster, A/C control module, BCM, Rear parking assist buzzer, Door warning switch, vanity lamp, TPMS, Home Link

    Let's just say I'm really glad that its fixed now. I was affraid Hyundai would rake me over the coals with fees to fix it.

    TIP!

    DONT HAVE ANY ELECTRICITY ON WHILE INSTALLING BULBS :tongue_smilie:

    When you get them installed a side by side comparison would be good... Say stock bulb on left and new LED on right?
