SOURCE: Dashboard lights and tail lights don't work

Check the TAILGHT FUSE. GM's unusual way of letting you know there is something wrong. Otherwise how often do you check your tailight operation. Only by another driver telling you, your tailights aren't working, would you know. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: No lights

Richard,

Do your self a favor, go buy a Chilton. I know this is not what you want to heer but as a jeep guy myself, you will apriciate having it later. With all the lights you have just said are out, you may be looking at a complete rewire job. You will really want to check out painless @ http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcatalog/index.php

also don't be afraid to go the the junk yard and scavange wire harnesses. Some times its much easier to replace entire wire harneses than hunting one down.

hope this helps

I believe it's one of your relays too. There are a few relays under the glove box. If you can determine which one is clicking you can change it out and possibly solve your problem. Good luck...

No dashboard light and rear light on Nissan cabster 1.5tonne truck

If your Nissan Cabster 1.5 tonne truck is experiencing no dashboard lights and rear lights, there are a few potential causes for this issue:
  1. Blown fuses: The dashboard and rear lights are connected to separate fuses. A blown fuse could cause one or both of these lights to stop working. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
  2. Wiring issue: A wiring problem such as a broken wire or loose connection may prevent power from reaching the lights.
  3. Switch problem: The problem could be the switch controlling the lights. The switch may be worn out or malfunctioning, preventing the lights from turning on.
  4. Bulb problem: The dashboard and rear lights are controlled by separate bulbs. One or both of the bulbs may be burned out or damaged.
  5. Electrical module problem: Some vehicles have an electrical module that controls the lights; if the module is faulty, it can cause the lights not to work.
It's best to have a professional technician diagnose the issue. They will be able to identify the specific cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs. It's also important to check the owner's manual for troubleshooting options or error codes that might be displayed on the dashboard.
It's also important to note that the lack of dashboard and rear lights can affect the safety of the vehicle and the driver; thus, it is vital to have it fixed as soon as possible.

How to pin point a specific electrical disturbance vehicle wiring?

it sounds like you fault is with the drivers side headlight or wiring.
have you up rated any of the lamps or done any removel or replacement of parts?. The headlight connection to the lamp may be faulty, even the lamp may be faulty, one of the healight or main beam wires may have been trapped or have been rubbing against the chassis. you have a direct short from the 12v to ground on the main beam and partial leakage on the normal beam. I would use a multi-meter and using the continuity buzzer start at the head light connections and put the meter across the 12v and ground if it buzzes trace the wires back to the relay and unplug the relay and buzz the 12v and ground on the connect going to the light if it doesn't buzz then buzz the 12v and ground going to the relay on the connector, if still buzzing then trace the wiring back to the light switches remove connectors and repeat as above. for best results disconnect the battery before hand. this fault maybe causing your other issues. good luck.

How to pinpoint and fix electrical disturbance in 1998 expedition?

Could be the ignition switch itself. Under the hood where all the wires go into the fusebox in the cab is a good pkace to start. You need to take the bolt/nut off and pull the box and wires apart. I have seen fuse blocks heavily corroded and cause problems as you are haveing. Also could be the ecm (aka)computer in your car is going bad. You can get a remanufactured one cheap. And it is simple and strait forward

How to replace headlight switch

First check all the light bulb's. Then check all the fuse's related to the lights on the vehicle. If that doe's not solve the problem, Check the relay that may be associated with the exterior rear light's. If that does not solve the problem, You either have a bad light switch itself located under the light knob that you are turning the lights on and off with, which is located on the dashboard display panel in various different location's depending on the make, model and year of your motor vehicle. and if that does not solve your problem it is possibly a wiring shortage which is followed from the light switch through the dashboard, to the fuse box, then through the entire vehicle running from the front of the vehicle to the back of the vehicle on the floor of the vehicle on either side of the vehicle, or the wire's may be located in the interior roof trim located on the inside of the vehicle over the door area running from the front off the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle, or the wire's could also run from the front of the vehicle to the back of the vehicle through the center of the floor or center console area, But most light shortage's are located either at the light fixture itself, which is where the light bulb is located, or either at the fuse in the fuse box, or at the light switch located on the dashboard display area.
