redlights flashing in my rear view mirror let me know i had a problem. no tail lights. when first got in my 2000 quadcab dash was all dark. warning 2 get them fixed & drive home w/flashers on.This AM started looking for blown fuse.all good and tested ok. headlights/flashers/brake lites/wipers only work.are dash/rear tail/park lites/ washer/radio on same circuit? i saw mention in forum of fuse box under hood.my owner manual makes no mention of other fuses. washer has not worked for last 2 months or so. Anyone have any idea on where to start? Cop may not be so friendly next time. on SS,can't afford $75hr shop time.

Look for a fuse panel under the hood. Does it have a
trailer wire harness, if so, you may want to by-pass that
once you find the blown fuse.

thanks much for help. found fuse box in plain sight, a case of not seeing trees for the forest. blown fuse replaced. however, did not do anything for washer. is it on its own fuse somewhere else. the one i found did bring everything back up tbat friendly cop pointed out.now have another problem that no one seems to be able to fix.
shimmy in front at about 35 mph. had alignment done after shop told me that i needed a new idler arm before he would do alignment. put new one in and shop did work. still shimmied. shop said it was new tires. went back to tire shop and they checked tires and rebalanced tires. still shimmied. changed tires from rear to front, all bought at same time, and still shimmy. went to sears and they checked alignment and said toe in was out. went to speciality alignment shop and they confirmed sears diagnosis and did alignment today. still shimmy at 35-50. above 60 it seems to disappear.they checked brakes, ok. checked bearings and said they were ok. what else could it be? they did say that my rear shocks should be replaced but i don't see how this would affect front end.any suggestions, i can't seem to find anyone who knows what it would be.
has 120m miles on truck. could it be a frame problem? I am second owner and it does not appear to have ever been in a wreck and problem did not appear until i had had truck for about four years.

The shimmy may be due to a broken or separated belt in a
tire?????? Alignment does not cure shimmy!!!!! Check for
power and ground @ the washer pump when someone pushes the
switch, if that is OK, you need a washer pump.
