I changed all the fuses every single one, all the 7.5-10-15 an 20s. I also change the fuses 40 amps and 30 amp fuse both under the dash and in the hood. Still not working, but my headlights work and my brake lights. If anyone knows how to help me please. I'm at a loss.

Hello,

I would test the blue and red wire coming out of the combination switch for power. here is a guide to help you and the running light wiring diagrams below so you can see how the system works:

Front light running or headlight? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

I appreciate you and your team really trying but I figured it out it was a fuse that kept blowing because I put a aftermarket radio in hooked up the wire wrong but then I put the old radio back in and check the fuse one more time and realized what was wrong right way

Hi white boy,

Symptoms indicates a possible loose wireharness connector somewhere and the bumping is aggravating the problem.

Electrical problem
1999 Nissan Frontier 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive 131500 miles

The lights for my dash, speedometer, gas gauge, etc. As well as for my gear shift are not coming on. The dimmer switch went out a year ago, so I disconnected it, and bridged the gap with some wiring. That worked, until recently, where it went out again. I am not getting a voltage reading from it. My indicator/warning lights, and stereo illumination still works. There is no specific fuse for the lights, so that is not the issue. Would you have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks.

Check fuse no. 11 10amp and fuse no. 39 10amp

Check for power at the illumination control switch blue and red wire-nothing there test the combination light switch-See EWD below interior light circuit
