The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

I have a 95 GMC and I pulled out the HVAC bulbs because I had one burnt out and now none of them will work. They are wired in unison with both power and negative wires to each connecter and bulb and I have replaced the bulbs and still nothing. Could this be a ground issue? If I was to splice in a 2nd ground wire would this cause more issues?

Try turning the bulb base 180°

First thing I thought of..if 1 blows do all 4 as well?

It could be a fail-safe.

Very true, maybe I have one ****-eyed or something. Thanks.

need some suggestions guys, Trucks blinkers suddenly stopped working. I have checked the fuse, and replaced the relay. Flashers work fine, just the blinkers do no work. I am at a loss now, so where is the next item to look at?

in case my sig don't show, truck is my 89 RCSB, 5.7 auto.


Thanks

Is there any way to get decent sound out of my suburban by just replacing the speakers and installing an aftermarket HU?

I'm thinking that your turn signal lever's shot.

Most aftermarket stereo's have ~35 Watts per channel, while you'd be ok with that & some decent speakers-- an 4-channel amplifier would make those new speakers sounds awesome without being distorted.

I was scared you would say that, is it hard to change?
