Gauge cluster lights, tail lights, wipers o my

I've searched.

I hate having to do these kinds of posts however I call upon the mighty power of the 7 community.

I was about to leave today when I noticed that my cautions/gauge cluster lights weren't working. Sure enough went i went and looked at my tail lights they were out too.

Headlights & Brake lights work perfectly fine.

Checked the fuse, it was good BUT I replaced it anyway.

As I was looking about I tried my windshield wipers, they budged back and forth but did not move more than 2 inches!

Replaced that fuse even though it was also perfectly fine.

Didn't pull back on my the stick to flash my highbeams but pressed the forward permanent highbeam... the Cluster Lights & tail lights came on and normal door open beeping sound.

Pop it back to normal mode/high beams off. Cluster & tail lights dead.

So I've looked around and someone had a similar issue with just gauge lights (not my unique highbeam and it worked situation) and they said it was the TNS relay?

If this mystery can't be solved at home (and I hope it can).
Its back off to Lucky 7 Racing I go! Screaming FRIS SAVE ME AGAIN!

Maybe its time to replace all harnesses aside from main engine harness.

Help me, Im stumped!

Yeah this happened to me! Replacing the TNS fixed it...we did a 1j swap and somehow that whole box of like 6 fuses got turned upside down. They got drenched a crap ton of time from rain and washing the car before i noticed it was upside down... ill take a picture of the fuse box when I get home for ya!

Someone just responded to my post in the West forum. So they might have one. Ended up not being my relay after all. Wiring issue.
