SOMEONE STOLE THE RADIO AND THEN THE CLUSTER LAMPS, TAIL LIGHTS AND MIRROR SWITCH STOPPED WORKING. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND TAIL LAMPS BULBS AND ALL SEEM O.K. WHAT HAS MY STUMPED IS THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WORK ALONG WITH THE ILLUMINATED SWITCHS ON THE DASH.

Hi DR.TYRANOSAURUS,

The taillights fuse is # 14 in underdash fusebox. Did you try swapping it with another fuse or test it?

Radio wire connector has a Red/Black wire which is use for illumination when taillights are turned on. Check if it is ground causing the # 14 fuse to blow.
