Headlight wiring diagram dashboard lights tail lights gear lights not working

First check fuse # 10 under the dash. That will be a 10 or a 15 amp, depending on the car model.

Look behind the right kick panel to see if you have a tail light relay. If you do, feel if that is clicking on when a helper turns the running lights on.

Here is a guide to help you check the fuses.

The next clue is if the sun visors' vanity lights and glove box light work. Those will only work when the tail lights or head lights are on.

If the fuses are okay I sounds like it could be the headlight switch. Here is a wiring diagrams for the tail lights and dash lights so you can see where you are loosing power.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Knowing if they work will tell me if you have a power supply problem or a ground problem. There's an unnecessarily-complicated computer in the ground circuit.

I'm racing a dying laptop battery and sitting in my library's parking lot using their wireless internet. I'll be back tomorrow or the next night to continue and see how you're doing. My diagram only shows part of the computer module, but there has to be a fused circuit to run it. That isn't shown, but it has to be there.

You should start a new question specific to your car. I'm not familiar with this circuit, and this question shows up on our lists as already having received a reply. That means it was a conversation between just two people, and we are the only ones who will get an automated e-mail message directing us back here. None of the other experts will see your addition or have a chance to reply. That won't get you the help you need. Please be sure to list the engine size, transmission type, mileage, and your sub model. We need that information to look up the right wiring diagrams, and to make judgments as to the best or most likely suspects. If no one else has a good answer for you, I'll try to figure it out if you have a good list of symptoms and observations to analyze.
