Default 92 accord electrical problems(no dash or tail lights)

i checked the fuses under the hood and all looked good. the radio works, my signals work, brake lights work but no lights on my dash or tail lights. any ideas what it could be? the chiltons says there is another fuse box under the dash but i wouldnt think the tail lights fuse would be in there. any help or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

looks like you need to check fuse #23 in the under hood fuse box.
If not that it looks like you may have a problem with the combination switch

I have the same problem, it was intermittent with the dash/tail lights as well as having the warning chime not working when the headlights were on and opening the door with the car off. It finally just quit working tonight.. I'll check the fuses in the AM and hopefully that will be the fix

hey do you have an aftermarket radio? I know it sounds stupid, but I installed a radio in my 94 cord and didn't cap the orange wire on harness, well it was shorted out . So I had no dash lights or runnin lights. It took me for ever to find where the problem was. I beleive the fuse was called small lights fuse. once I caped wire all problems went away.

Default I found the problem

just an FYI it was the actual switch that comes out of my steering column that is also what functions my turn signal. the relay that sends power to the dash lights and tail lights and even the little dinging noise when you leave your lights on went out. it was cold and rainy here and i decided not to mess with it and dropped the $140 to just have the entire switch replaced.
