electrical problem

My dome light, cigarett light, power mirrors, and rear hatch release all done work. What could be the problem. It all happened after I plugged my cell phone into the cigarett lighter.


On a different note my turn signals blink way fast what could cause that aside from the other stuff?

Could be a faulty cig lighter (or some loose change fell in it somehow) that caused you cig lighet to short when you plugged in your phone causing the ACC fuse to pop. (everything else you mention not working is on this fuse as well)

Heavy Duty bulbs and a standard flasher relay can cause the signals to blink faster. A HD flasher relay might help.

how about tell'n us a little about your ride, bird or camaro, year etc. etc. etc.

if its a newer third gen then sometimes when you have a burnt out turn signal bulb the other lights blink faster to let you know one is gone, the older third gens if you loose a turn sgnal bulb the others won't blink at all.

you just blew a fuse happened all the time in my Oldsmobile and quite a bit in my Grand prix's , that's like maybe 2 bucks to fix , if you look at your fuse set up sometimes they give you extra. and you just replace it with that one.
