Hyundai Accent Forum The Hyundai Accent Forum. Hyundai's little champ. While the Hyundai Accent and Hyundai Excel may be small, they respond very well to aftermarket modifications and is among the favorites for Hyundai tuners.

Domelight, trunk light, instrument cluster and door chime don't work.

Default Domelight, trunk light, instrument cluster and door chime don't work.

Just recently I have installed two sets of lexen LEDs for the dome light and the trunk light. Both have worked for a few days then all of a sudden, the lights don't come on anymore. Plus the door chime docent ding when I open the door, and I have also noticed the digital tachometer is off (it only goes on when I start the car..). I believe I blew a fuse but I can't find out which which fuse I blew. I'm learning the basics of this car and unfortunately I don't know where to find the problem.

I drive a 2003 accent 3dr hatch.

Check any fuses that could be related according to their descriptions. Check in the fuse panel to the left of the driver's foot and also the one on the driver's side of the engine compartment.

If it's not a fuse, it's probably a short inside one of your new LED bulbs.

i agree it's probably a short of the bulbs. try putting the old ones back and see if it works. also, check your interior fusebox for any blown fuses.

i swear those aftermarket LED things are meant for "most" cars from ebay use the wrong resistors sometimes.

It turned out to be the room fuse next to the audio under the hood, I replaced it with a new fuse and everything is working back to normal, and hopefully it stays that way. Thanks for the help fellas!
