Checked the fuses. No power going to the tail lights. Any ideas?

Checked fuses, checked headlight relay, searched for ground. Didn't check the dimmer switch, will do that next.

Any other ideas? I searched but people don't seem to come post the solution, id they ever solved it. I appreciate the help.

 

It's a shame my wiring diagram is not where I am at right now

 

check all the fuses, inside and under the hood? There should be mains there that control the dash/lights ?

Thats about all i can suggest =)

 

Have you messed with the interior light wires at all... I did because I tapped my fog lights to come on with the parking lights. Well the shade tree wiring I did on that shortly failed so I went back and soldered it. But yeah the only thing that was on were my headlights, no interior lights or tail lights.

 

Usually when the dashlights and tails go out at the same time, it's a fuse. A fuse could look good but still be bad so check them with a test light.

 

OK, Here we go. You're gonna **** in your pants. I pulled the wiring diagram. Let's start at the battery. It goes through a 60 amp fuse, then to the 15 amp under the dash, then to a friggin relay next to the AC relay called TNS relay, then this relay sends signal to the light switch, back to the relay, and splits off to dash and tail. Well, I already said my fuses were good. So I checked the relay. Relay wasn't gettin no power. So I gave the relay 12V from a power source. Everthing came back on. What the hell is the TNS stand for?
Anyhow, now I needed to find out where the damn wire is cut. I didn't fell like checking the line all throughout the wiring harness, so I rewired it. If you look in the fuse box where the main circuit relay is located, there are 2 empty spaces left for fuses. I used one of them to run power to the TNS relay. Pulled the "tail" fuse out under the dash. So now my dash-tail fuse is the unmarked fuse under the hood.


I hate electrical problems.
