Hi, within the past week, apparently my dash lights and taillights just stoped working. I checked the fuses and they were all fine. I am quite frustrated since I received a moving voilation yesterday for them not working. The brake lights, directionals, headlights all work fine. Any Ideas?

The fuse for the lights is actually under the hood. Takes a little mini fuse

Thanks, found it....duh...... But, It calls for a 15a. Every 15a I installed blew instantly. So I reluctantly threw in a 20a and its working fine... I'm thinking theres a intermittant short to ground somewhere??? Thanks!

If you put in a 15amp and it blew right away, you might no you do have a electrical problem. Suckas bad ground,short or too much resistance in the circuit.

Did you have a trailer wiring installed recently? When I had my wiring and ball installed on mine, they blew the fuse.

if it calls for a 15a and all the ones you put in blew that means you have a problem. replacing with 20a is bad news. you better get that checked.
