my taillights dont work and also my dash lighting where the rpm's r...like when i drive at night i cant see how fast im goin and i hope i dont get caught by the cops cuz i got no taillights at nite... ....the bulbs are fine...and i was wondering wut could b the problem....fuses??? wut u guys think?? my headlihgts work fine

 

Did u check ur fuses yet? Report back after u find out.

 

my buddy had a similar problem which was caused by a wire for one of the bulbs being pinched between the taillight housing and the frame of the car causing a short. but yea check your fuses.

 

IBTDUII

check ur fuses and bulbs..

 

i changed both the fuses and the bulbs...still not working

 

Each tailight has a seperate control module.

Grab a friend who has a DC and take their control module to see if you get your tailights back.

Im not sure about your cluster. You're gonna have to get that looked at.

 

I had the same problems, and ummm ok..
1. Have you changed or anyone changed anything electrical in your car ? (my problem was the radio)
2. Any loose wiring running from the tailights up to the front ?
3. Any cuts/splices on the wires ?


yeeeah. Well what my proble was, I pinched one of the wires with the radio support, which caused a short on the electrical wiring, and blew my fuses. <3

GGkTHX

sounds good ? sounds right to me...

 

theres splices and cuts in wires near my headlights...i think its a harness or sumthin

 

in the engine bay there is a fuse called back up fuse. reading it might make u think it is for the reverse light but it is not check and replace that, same thing happened to me and i replaced that fuse and it worked mint, let me kno it that works

 

i posted the comment above on my friends comment, just want to kno if u checked it yet and wondered if it work, let me kno

 

There's a short somewhere. The taillights and the instrument lights are all on the same fuse. I had the same problem.

 

its not the fuses or the bulbs!! help...

 

i think i checked the rite fuses.... where are the fuses for the taillights????????????

 

??????????????????????

 

Check the underhood fuse #51. See diagram underhood diagram below. The Helms states:

Fuse Number: 51
Fuse Name: +B Small
Amps: 15
Component: Dash and console lights, Licence plate lights, Rear parking lights, taillights

Check the two underdash fuses #30 (instrument lights) 7.5 amps and #32 (licences/taillights) 10 amps.

Also check the the fuses amps rating, if its higher that the stated values and did not blow, then there's a short somewhere and it didn't trip the fuses due the the higher amp rating. That's why you don't ever use a higher amp fuse than the needed value.

If that don't work, get a Helms manual and a multimeter and look for the short!

 

alrite i changed number 51 and the dash console lights work now so thats a good start...but i changed number 32 and my taillights still dont work....help!!!

 

i bet you keep blowing the tail light fuse...aftermarket radio right? check the wiring..thats the most common reason ive seen for these symptoms

 

yea i got an after market radio...check wut wirng???

 

check for any frayed wires..basically any exposed wire..use black electrical tape to cover them up..they may be making contact with metal causing a short and blowing the fuse

 

the wiring behind the radio..sorry

 

theres spliced wires in the bay nex to the Power steering rite near the healight ground...its touching metal so i should put eletrical tape???

 

tape up any bare wire..you will know if something looks out of place and needs to be taped..sounds like you are lookin under the hood..take a look behind the radio itself..im sure there are plenty of spliced wires just yearning to be taped up behind there

 

i had the same problem and it was a wire on the back of my stereo causing a short so check there.

 

ok this is real weird...i juss came from outside and everytime i change the taillight fuse it blows when i turn on the lights...this happened 3 times in a row...3 fuses gone!!!...

 

i dont think its my stereo cuz this all just happened all of a sudden...there cant b no bare wires in a matter of a day...
