i dot know what happened but my gauge light like tach temp oil gas and speed dont light up when i put my headlights on, my running lights dont go on and neither do my brakelights for that matter when i put my lights on. they light while braking thats all. in fact the first click on the light knob does nothing, no running lights brake lights or interiors go on. i dont know can this be a fuse, part of the harness, a relay i am lost..... i hate electrical ****

this is an easy fix, sorry noone else had already helped you. its a fuse under your dead pedal marked tail lights (bottom left side of fuse box) it is usually caused by a light bulb that has been shorted out (like side markers etc)



it is ALL on one fuse, tails, side, interior etc etc...

check all your connections and all your fuses. if you have subs or anything that might have screw something up also check all those connections as well.also check your grounding kit and if you had to splice your harness check that stuff also. If you have had any comp. work done have someone look at that to.

Nice sig JadedX, lol

papasmurf 08-22-2003 12:16 AM

by the dead pedal, in the fuse box, the fuse itself is marked "tail lights" or something like that, and is in the lower left hand side of the box.

MazdaMike 08-22-2003 12:58 AM

its marked "Tail" middle fuse 2nd from the left. it is a 15A fuse u can pick em up 5 for like 2 bucks at ur local car/electronic shop. i happened to have em on hand from my trucks system.

I hate fuses. I had to re-wire my main body harness. that took 22 hours and i blew 5 fuses 1 of which was a major one. Had to check every damn fuse. plus it fucked up my PowerFC map.
