Q: My left tail light does not work.
I went to install an after market sterio. But kept blowing fuses until I finally. Got it to work. Well now my left tail light don't work, I think the dimmer wires messed up the dimmer switch because I have no power to tail light. Brake light or blinker on left tail light. And my headlight blinker on left side blinks normally like there's no problem. So could this be a fried dimmer switch or something worse?
