Hi,

If that is happening, we have something shorting to power. What I need you to do is remove three fuses, one at a time to see if the lights turn off. I attached a wiring schematic below and highlighted the fuses. See pic 1.

In pic 2, I attached a pic of the fuse box in the vehicle. The highlighted fuses are the ones I am referring to.

Do this and let me know what you find. If the lights turn off with a specific fuse, let me know which one it is.

Take care,
Joe

Is this the exact diagram for my vehicle listed above LX model?
The guy at the auto place put this white piece behind the screw in back of the brakes and it cut the lights off. I'm trying to see what is missing?
This is the white piece I'm referring to:
