94042, HELP NO TAILS, SIDE MARKERS, OR GAUGE LIGHTS!! Posted by talon749, May-03-06 04:50 PM
I checked the fuses, and all are good, I have no idea what is wrong?!?! I really need to know because as of now I cant drive in the dark! all the lights for the interior, excpt for the reading ligts dont work, my sidemarkers dont work, and neither do my tail lights, I have brake lights, and blinkers though???

Are you sure you checked all the fuses? Mine did the same exact thing awhile ago and I was shorting my taillights out and a fuse in the engine compartment was popped.

Check the ones in the engine compartment. There's a big 40A named headlamp phlares which controls your gauge lighting. If there is no center filament, get a new one for 1-2 bucks.
Taillight fuses should be in the engine bay too.

Hopefully it's just a popped fuse.But if not...
Have you taken anything apart? Interior panels? tail lights? Other than the cd player?
If so you may have a short somewhere. This happened to me and I had no brake/signal lights in the rear. Turns out when ny car was rear ended the body shop pinched some wires when they put my tail lights back in.
I had to tear my car apart and finally traced which wire was cut and exposed. Fixing it was a breeze, finding it was a bitch.
I hope you dont have to do what I had to.

Brake/Turn light are not on the same circuit. Map/dome lights are on a different circuit too.
Almost all marker light faults I have helped people chase are directly related to installing stereos, gauges or alarms where wires have been cut or shorted accidently.
Check the pics below.
First: Fusible link FL5 must be okay or your headlights would not be working. This fusible link directly feeds the relay A-15X.
Next: Relay A-15X should make a clicking sound when you turn on the marker lights. Do you hear a click? If not, then it is probably not receiving a ground signal from the marker light switch. The relay could be bad. Try swapping the relay with the one below it (headlights) and see if it clicks now. Also check to see if your headlight still work.
Next: If the relay is clicking, then check the blade fuse BF5. Do you have a small test light or meter to check for power on the top of the fuse? If that is good then you must have an open circuit in the harness. All the marker circuits split up inside the car near the driver's foot rest. It is very hard to reach up there to check anything.
Next: Report back your results at this point before attempting to access anything up near the inside fusebox. You can do more harm than good trying to test wires and connection up in that bundle of wires. There are safer places to check further but I need to know the results of these first tests.

FYI:
Your dash lights are supplied voltage by the same circuit as the marker lights so that is normal that they were all out when the fuse was blown.
