    Remote doesnt work, windows dont work, interior light doesnt work, hazards dont flash

    So I set out today to fit a replacement alarm horn behind my rear bumper, I extended the wires and mounted the new horn. I work several times while I was installing it and wanted to test my connections.

    Then when Im all finished I went to lock the car thinking I had done a good clean install and the remote doesnt work to lock the car or the panic button. Hazards dont flash either. So I try to unlock the other doors and no luck. I hopped in and started the car, the automatic dome light setting doesnt work, the dome light itself works when you set it to ON but not auto.

    Then I try to put the windows up, nothing happened, same thing with the open sun roof.

    So I went to unlock the doors with the button in the car and it didnt work either.

    I checked all the 5 amp fuses in the car and nothing was blown ideas? I did search and found out about a bad vac pump, but that isnt it. The pump doesnt even turn on and that doesnt explain everything else that was effected.

    ECU reset?
    Fuse check?
    Ideas?


    Thanks guys!

    It sounds like it has to be a fuse. I'd double check, check which fuse controls all of those in a Haynes manual or something and replace it, is it accessory power or something? I'm not sure...

    Thanks guys! That was the problem a large 15a fuse which I guess controls a few random things. Also the problem with my loud ass horn is that it was grounded to the car. I replaced the 15a with a 20a and undid the horns chasis ground and shes LOUD as hell. Ill post a vid then.

    If this doesnt piss off the asshole next door nothing will!
