Exclamation Need Help Again! Lost my Dash lights and tail lights

I know that usually when this happens its a fuse under the dash. I have checked the fuse and nothing. The dash lights and tail lights flash when the alarm arms and dis arms but does not work when the lights are turned on. Just for reference the headlights do come on but there is no warning chirp that tell you they are on either.

any ideas?

You may need a new flasher box or CPU #2. If that's the case send me a PM and I'll send one your way

I had this happen in an 86 RX7 and it was the headlight switch.

It's the TNS relay in the relay box in the very front of the engine bay. This is an extremely common issue if you mount your box upside down. You can get a new relay for around $20 at your local Mazda dealership.

Mine is actually mounted sideways right now. I needed room for my Vmount.
