Taillights and dash lights not working

Hi,

The first thing I need you to check is fuse 3 in the interior fuse panel. In addition to checking the fuse, make sure there is power to it. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Next, there is a parking lamp relay that powers the dash lights and parking lights. I need you to check that next. If there is another relay with the same part number, switch them. If there isn't, here is a link that explains how to test one.

See pics 3 and 4 for fuse and relay locations.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

See pics below.

Found out I am not getting power to fuse 3, but don't know why or what to do from there.

Hi,

No problem. I attached the entire power distribution schematic below. Fuse 3 receives power from fuse 7 in the under-hood fuse box. So, either that fuse is bad or we have a broken wire.

Check fuse 7 the same way as you did fuse 3. Make sure the fuse is good and confirm power.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below. Note: The wiring schematic was 3 pages long. I had to cut it in half to make it readable for you. I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next (specifically pics 3 and 4). Also, I highlighted the wiring that is relevant to the problem. If you look at the last pic below, I highlighted the fuse to check in the under-hood fuse box.
