This morning i was told i have no tail lights so when i got home i chacked all bulbs and fuses. I. The process i noticed my illumination on my dash is out as well. All the dummy lights and turn work. So i have both turn light,headlights,reverse,and hazard. My under hood fuse 51 B+small is blown. Where should i look for a short. Also im not running a show quality car its got 259kmiles is there a way to bypass this fuse. I wouldnt mind just having running lights on all the time

 

Do you have an aftermarket headunit? If so, remove it and make sure the ORANGE "illumination" wire is either connected or properly taped off. This is the same circuit as the exterior lights.
