Ok this it for my brothers car the problem is that the interior lights,meter lights,Parking lights,and tail lights are not working at all. Fuses are all excellent.All the bulbs are also good.What happened was that when I replaced some fuses everything was working perfectly.But later on that day everything just shut off.And I double checked the fuses and there were still all good.The car is driveable but the lights don't fuction properly.CAn anyone help me out with this problem.Thanks

 

did you mess with any wires?

 

Nope not at all.

 

hmmm....sorry man I dunno




and moved to "General"

 

thanks for your help

 

i have no help but i'm having a similar problem... the interior dome light and map lights dont work...neither does the beep if you leave them on or the seat belt, but the fuses are all ok

 

Here i am to save the day,...sort of....Lets first start by using basic troubleshooting steps:
1st: fuses
2nd:wiring (check to see if any shorts are happening
3rd: power, are you getting it?

I could keep going, but this isn't a class. I could already tell you have a connection problem. Fuses are used in between connections just in case there's a short/over voltage/surge in the electrical system, but lets rule all that out. This is where you need a multi-meter, because you need to check for CONNECTIVITY, then check if your getting the proper voltage. If you get connectivity then check volts. If volts are not their then you know where your problem is at. Go to the source of the power. If you do get the proper voltage to the certain area, then something is grounding your connection. hope this helps you or spark an idea.

 

Is there a relay for the tail lights? I might check that.
