Howdy all. So I went to change out my footwell lights with some led strips and happened to notice they wouldn’t come on. Started it up to see if everything else worked and the gauges were dead. Checked fuses in the glove box and they are all fine but I did find a 10a blown under the hood. Is this a common thing? I’m gonna slap a new fuse in the morning and see if it brings it back. Just curious if anyone else has had this problem before
 
did you happen to short the wires while installing? What is the fuse for? Was everything working before the install?
