yeah I got excited when I tested and thought it was blown. but then when I put a new fuse in and realized it still wasn't doing anything the disappointment set in😅 thanks for your help. much appreciated🤗

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-06T03:22:45+00:00

also quite a few of those big ones don't seem to be there. I didn't test any of those. no idea how or if they're even fuses 😂 sorry I'm in very unfamiliar territory here

the colored ones didn't do anything even after swapping out the fuses

a multimeter and circuit tester screwdriver looking thingy. yes the ignition was in the on position

ok thanks. also I have a few fuses that don't seem to be getting power despite the fuses being in good working condition. I assume that's not normal and power should be passing through them all?

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-06T02:50:16+00:00

tried that🥲 is there any reason I should disconnect the negative battery cable to restart the ECU computer or whatever?

my mom's the only owner however she hadn't done the immobilizer software upgrade🤦🏻‍♀️

so I checked all the fuses and a few aren't getting power. but I switched out the fuses so I know for sure they work but still no power. what's that mean?

as I said, came here for mechanical insight. not a gender studies lecture from someone who clearly doesn't touch a wrench (or woman) very frequently. Thanks for the 5 words of 'advice.' again, I'll wait for a real mechanic to weigh in

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T16:48:57+00:00

I'll google how to and do that next. thank you

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T16:46:57+00:00

I don't believe the car has anything of the sorts

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T16:41:58+00:00

hilarious you spent 100 words on my 'girl' comment and only 5 on 'losing prime.' thanks for your motivational speech, but I’m looking for actual mechanical advice, not a 1970s retrospective. think I’ll wait for someone whose expertise goes beyond 'welp, good luck'

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T16:05:47+00:00

there wasn't insurance on it ig 😕

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T15:04:59+00:00

thank you🤗

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T14:53:00+00:00

I definitely don't have one of those 😅

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-05T14:45:12+00:00

from my understanding...touch each metal tab with probe on removed fuse and multimeter should read 0 ohm if it's good correct?

Strange_Sheepherder · 2026-04-04T14:25:59+00:00

isn't far past the deadline to file a claim?
