interior lights dont go on when turn on headlamps..
 
i just noticed on the drive home just now that my interior lights dont work when i turn on the turn signal lights

these include the gauges, the whole A/C panel, and the glovebox.

my turn signal lights dont go on either.

also, the beeping noise when i open the door while the lights are on doesnt beep


how do i fix? what do i look for?

You need to check the 10a Room fuse under the dash.

Recipe7 05-17-04 10:20 PM

also, the headlamps dont go on either, but the headlights do go on

Recipe7 05-17-04 10:21 PM

double post

Then you need to check the TNS relay under the hood, and the fuses on the positive battery connector.

Recipe7 05-17-04 10:43 PM

alright gona check these out right now

what am i looking for exactly?

Recipe7 05-17-04 10:55 PM

i checked the fuses under the dash, the 10a room one. doesnt seem like theres a problem.

there is another Red 10 fuse on the box that covers the fuses, should i use try that one?

^

i find this urgent because i drive at night...haha

c00lduke 05-18-04 12:17 AM

does the TNS relay click when you flip the interior light on?

Recipe7 05-18-04 01:53 AM

where can i find this TNS relay exactly?

c00lduke 05-18-04 02:43 AM

Its in the front relay box

Recipe7 05-18-04 05:40 PM

just to be clear

its not the light in the cabin

its the light when you first click the turn signal peice. 2nd click would be turning on the headlights

am i suppose to hear a click from the tns when turning this on?

RotorJoe 05-18-04 06:00 PM

Could this be telling you your stop lamp fuse is out?

Recipe7 05-18-04 06:42 PM

ok

i checked everything

i switched out the 10a room fuse with another fuse, and nothing has changed

i checked the relay boxes and it seems everything is normal. i couldnt find anything marked TNS in on the relay boxes tho. i checked for a "click" from the relays but heard nothing.

any other suggestions before i take it to a shop?

Recipe7 05-18-04 09:44 PM

anyone?

i cant find anything in the searches

c00lduke 05-18-04 11:35 PM

yeah i am talking about the first switch. TNS relay in the front relays box, mine clicks everytime i flip the switch to the first posisiotn

Recipe7 05-18-04 11:56 PM

is there another name for TNS? i dont see TNS on my relay box cover

c00lduke 05-19-04 04:07 AM

I'm not home right now so i cant check but are you looking at the very front relay box in front of the radiator?

CYM TKT 05-19-04 10:13 AM

tail lights work? I had a short one time in the HVAC that cause my gauge cluster and tail lights to not light up, but the headlights still worked

austinsFD 05-19-04 02:51 PM

see john i told you its a fuse

Recipe7 05-19-04 07:52 PM

the tailights do work

im still not sure its a fuse austin heh

Gouki7 05-20-04 05:24 PM

I'm having this same problem too I think it could be my TNS relay... or the relay modual because it'll click on and off when I tap it also the fans switch on and the car isn't started up

DCrosby 05-20-04 05:40 PM

What have you done to the car lately, that culd cause this, have you washed it !? Washed the engine, changed the Head Unit... you must have done something electrical lately or it's very unlikely that it would just "blow". What you did, no matter how insignificant, or foolish is going to help us isloate what fuses to look at...

Recipe7 05-20-04 09:22 PM

i did nothing whatsoever electrical the past how many weeks.

i did get my engine bay cleaned a little over a month and a half ago. would this have affected the fuses or whatever it is?

Gouki7 05-20-04 10:27 PM

yeah if you didn't run it it could have gotten water logged... well i think my problem could be the relays so I think I'm off to mazdatrix to go get some.... then off to rotary power to finish my car... *sigh* almost there
