changing reversing bulbs and now other things don't work - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi

I was changing my reverse lights the ingition on and gear in reverse. It took me a couple times to get the bulb in properly, got 1 of the bulbs in and now the aircon fan doesn't work, the reverse lights don't work and when i'm in reverse the indicators don't work but they do when the cars not in reverse

i've checked all the fuses in the engine bay and the fuse panel inside the car that i can find and they are all good.

any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Did you install the correct bulbs? Are the replacements standard bulbs or LEDs?

So the power was On when you attempted to change the bulbs?

i had LEDs in there for a couple weeks. i was changing back to standard bulbs because the LEDs weren't quiet as good for visiblity when it was raining at night and yes there was power going to the bulbs while i was changing them. i only changed the rhs(drivers side) bulb when this boo boo happend.

checked all the fuses with a test light instead of just looking at them... it was a blown fuse.
odd that so many things would run through 1 fuse.
owell :)

i have the same problem thanks what fuse was blown

I think it was number 10 or 14 fuse on the inside fuse pannel. It was a 10a fuse for me

The burnt fuse caused the relay to pull in thats why the reverse lights were on. And never replace your lamps with the power on, you got lucky this time.

There is no relay in circuit for the backup lights. The 10A GAUGE fuse feeds them directly through the backup lamp switch.
