Electrical / whats my fuse box missing?

thanks for all the help. it ended up being the headlight relay plug. one of the female plugs had been pushed down and wasn't making contact with my relay. it was just super hard for me to see.

now my headlights wont come on. this is weird. i cleaned up that ground but no luck. is there a ground close to the fuse box? i think its something to do with a relay. ill try and figure out which one is for my lights.

General Topics / can putting on the wrong belts mess anything up?

« on: June 03, 2009, 12:47:33 PM »

i recently changed my ac, power steering belt and fan belt. i bought some duralast belts. the new belts were definitely different than what was on there before. i figured the old ones were wrong because they were super lose. the new ones seemed to be thicker and a tiny bit smaller but they fit fine (i think). Anyways the length of the new belts seems fine but im not sure about the thickness? they went on and seemed to be right but my engine seems to be running a little louder. im kind of a hypochondriac so it might be nothing. thanks so much for any help.
