Can a burnt out light bulb effect the electrical system of a car?
The dashboard lights, brake, and tail lights all died at the same time on my ’96 Chevy Corsica. One of my brake light bulbs has been burnt out for some time and I’ve just been too lazy to fix it. Could a burnt out bulb do that to the electrical system of a car?
I have gone through the fuses for each of those areas and all are intact. So now I’m trying to find out if the electrical problems and the bulb are related or not.
yes and no. if its a stock electrical system then a burnt out light will not cause any major problems.
if you did it your self then there is a whole other story.
the only problem you might get is a flashing light on your dash or your drive lights will flash for a few seconds if you got a head light out, then you get a message on your dash. ( thats what my sunfire dose. )
looking at a fuse may not do any good, a blow fuse may not look blown. best way is to use a fuse tester or to take the fuse out and put a new one in you know that works. just like Christmas lights, you take on bulb out and put a good one in, if it lights up you found the bad bulb, if not you take that new bulb back out and put the old one back in and go on down the line ) ( keeping in mind to use a same rated fuse for each socket )
