I was checking my fuses to see if any were blown because my led's were not working and I guess I accidently placed one fuse into the wrong spot and now my car is dying out a lot. I swapped in 2 batteries and they both died after a couple of minutes. There is a message on saying shift the range back to p or something like that when I shift it out of park. When I was driving, the turn signals would not work, the navi turned off, than the gauges turned off and power steering turned off and left me stranded on the freeway. A jump would not help so I had my cousin bring me a new battery and it worked right away. Also when I shifted to D, the car shakes forward. Also some of the fuses under the driver side and passenger side are not getting any voltage. Any input on how to fix this?

 

The fuse box on the drivers side? There should be a diagram of what goes where. Follow that, and replace the incorrect fuses. It's hard to help if we don't know what fuses you pulled out.

 

i agree, the best you can do at the point is follow the diargram to the "T" and put them back exactly how they were, or try to.

let us know what you figure out.

 

sounds like a serious electrical issue - probably one that is beyond anyone's expertise here in the 2is section.

this is where you take your 2is into the dealership and come clean.

 

I replaced all the fuses in the correct places and it still didn't work. I plan on taking it to the dealership today.

 

good luck keep us updated!

 

Thanks. I dropped the car off, and they gave me a es350 as a loaner. I am hoping the repair isn't too much. Cross my fingers

 

Oh yeah while I was there, I saw a flyer saying that there will be a recall on the floor mats in december.

Wow. They're going to ask you for some labor money indefinitely. And don't try and go in there and tell them it just started doing it by itself! You might need a new fusebox or some control unit you fried. Update w/ what happens w/ the car and the diagnosis.

 

the severity of the issue could range anywhere from something simple and/or inexpensive(resetting the ECU, getting the right fuses into the right locations) to complicated and most likely expensive (bad/broken component in the electrical system i.e. alternator, ECU).

assuming the OP was honest about the issue and how the issue came about, i would imagine that for his service advisor to qualify this as a warranty repair he would need to be on VERY GOOD TERMS with his service advisor, and i mean christmas card list/birthday invitation/weekly fishing trip/buddy-buddy-type "good terms". even if so, i have doubts whether the service center would allow the associated repair/replacement costs to be written off as "warranty repairs".

i'm not trying to add insult to injury to the OP, but ^ is what he could be potentially facing.

 

My vehicle is already out of warranty. So it's gonna be coming out of my pocket. Just hope it's a inexpensive fix.

 

At this point, its seems best to take your car to a professional, IMO. The fuses are there to protect the wiring and more expensive electronics. Replacing one fuse with one rated higher means the components along that line can see excessive heat and/or damage.

If your battery is dying constantly, it sounds like your alternator is damaged and you're just gradually losing power until the battery can no longer power the car. Your jump attempts reinforce this, since if the car is attempting to start on a discharged battery, its unlikely to hold enough charge to get you anywhere.

Does the car die shortly after you remove the jumper cables?

Which LEDs were not working in the first place?

Again, I think its best left in the hands of someone more experienced who can check for this.

 

damn didn't know you're so close to Kearny Mesa. I would of send you to one of my tech. BTW you should come to your bi monthly meet in Mira Mesa.

 

I'm having problems with my fogs, they won't turn on anymore. Could that be a fuse problem as well? It just went out one day, have no specific reason as to why. I would like to check the fuses, how do you open that damn lid? I think I'm retarded but I can't seem to open it. Help!
