Default Problem!

So here's the story, I was driving home the other night at around 8pm or so and all of a sudden my lights on my dash cut off while having them on. So none of my parking lights work. Rear, corners, etc. The only thing that works when I turn the **** for my lights are my head lights.

I checked my fuses under the hood and my the driver side. I found one blown fuse under the hood and replaced it. Turned on my lights nothing. Checked back at that fuse and burnt. I did this for about 3 fuses and decided to quit.

What could be the problem? I'm afraid of getting pulled over at night since my rear lights don't work. Please help. TIA!

if your blowing fuses you probably have something going on with the wiring somewhere else. Its probably either an open circuit or wires are touching. Do you have aftermarket lights in your corners and dash?? Who did the work?? Do you have an automotive multimeter?? Electrical stuff can be difficult to work with you have to know what your doing.

well obviously you have a short somewhere, i would check you bulds out for the back and corners, you will have to do some reaseach own you own, and try and narrow down where the electrical short is. the fuse is blowing for a reason. first thing i would check is that you don't have any bulb sitting in water

I have no aftermarket bulbs are anything everything is stock. But I guess I'll start checking to see if any of my bulbs are in water. I have nothing electrical done to the car besides my amp which I don't think effects any of this.
