Fuse blown, i think?

[sockgirl77]

i got in my car this morning and i heard a pop then a little smoke came out of my dash. now my radio won't work and my power locks won't work. is this a blown fuse?

....is this a blown fuse?

Sounds like the blinker fluid leaked into the fuse box and blew a few fuses. Be sure when you get the blinker fluid to replace what leaked out they don’t rip you off for the high dollar premium fluid, that high dollar fluid is for cars with a horse power or 87,000 or higher.

But I thought the high dolla fluid was thinner and you are supposed to use thinner fluid in the winter...

Just ask for a blinker fluid that meets the manufacturer's specifications and you should be okay.
Try Cheseldine's

[sockgirl77]

How are you going to get out?

[Bogart]

You got lucky it didn't blow in the down position.

 

[RoseRed]

Why not lock it manually?

The blinker fluid goes in this... Right?

See here lies the problem, every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they are know it alls when it come to car repair. It is a myth that the more expensive fluid is thinner. And while some cars built before 1988 need the “winter fluid” most newer cars are fine with the cheaper fluid.

Any parts store will fill your blinker fluid just go in and ask them, if they charge you more than $5.00 for the fluid and the fill up you are being ripped off. Most times they will do it for free if it’s a woman who needs it done. When the blinker fluid in my car gets low I sent my wife to get it filled, and they have NEVER charged her once. We use AutoZone.

Seriously,

Locate your fuse box, under the dash in older cars, engine compartment with newer cars.

Remove lid if applicable, looked for the blown fuses. The element inside the fuse will be seperated. You will have to remove the fuses to check it.

Better yet, take it to Autozone, have one of the sales folks help u.

Remember, fuses do not blow on thier own, some other malfunction caused the short. So you do need to remedy the source of the problem.
