today i had to get a jump cause my battery and after i jumped it i realized that my tail lights and interior lights where my speedometer and air conditioner were out. more than likely is that from a blown fuse?

Sorry i don't quite understand. I'm assuming you mean that your battery has died and you needed a jump start to get going again. Then you realized once everything was running a few select interior lights were out. Correct?

If so then yes probably a blown fuse, check your panel they should be clearly labeled. Unless somehow you did something when jump start the car to fry the wiring, doubt it though.

Check the fuses and tell me what ya find.

That is would I would start off checking. Sounds like it is a good chance it could be.
