Okay So on the drive home from the meet on sunday I noticed my light for my gauges werent being lit,So i igured it was because the sun was shinning and i couldnt see them.When it starts gettin dark I cant see how fast im goin cause the damn light is out.I drive home and begin to inspect. My head lights flip up and turn on perfect.I have no parking lights,Front Or Back.My brake lights and turn signals work perfect but only when I use them.They dont turn on if im not using them. Please someone help me.I searched but not alot cause its frustrating..grr..I would greatly appreciate it fellas. Thanx.

 

you mean your interrior lights?

2nd gen has a dimmer dial on the same wheel area where you turn the lights on and off. Sometimes I turn that off and forget about it.

But I dunno if i completely understand your problem.

Its the TNS relay right behind the front bumper. If it's wet just clean it up, replace it if it doesnt work. TNS controls the interior lights and parking lights.

Try swapping it w/ one of the blue relays in the relay box, its the same relays.

 

Yeah my light from the gauges doesnt turn on. My exterior parking lights dont turn on front or back. My brake lights work when i push the brak and the turn signals work when i use them but no parking lights. I checked the dimmer switch and thats not it....Where is this swtich that may be wet?...Thanx guys for helping me out..A lil more info would help..Thanx

 

Hey Anthony,
Look at the Dim light and see whether you might accidently turn it off. I think it's located next to or somewhere near the middle vent.

Or if not, try audiobot way.

 

LoL, pop your hood and look for the relay box right behind the front bumper. Its black box w/ a bunch of relays, the top cover should say "TNS" on it. Im pretty sure thats the problem. Rain/water/car wash usually causes this problem. If not, check the interior light switch, fuses, bulbs, wirings, and etc... Good luck

 

Yeah im goin to try audiobots way but its not the dimmer switch cause i get no outisde parking lights either..Just the main head lights turn on.

 

Just swap the two blue relays, takes 2 seconds!!!

 

K..ill be right back........

 

Yo sup bee.,
Hows your FD runnin'?

 

Wassup man,

Other than the same light problem I had last week, good. U?

 

Okay so popped the hood and looked at the fuse boxes which i beilieve there are 2 of them and found none which said "TNS"...But i checked the for a blue fuse and there was none either. Am i looking in the wrong place. Under the hood drivers side next to diagnosis box is where i looked.

 

For the third time, behind the front bumper. Its not a fuse, its a relay. Stop drinking the V8's

 

lol...oh ok...ill brb...there shouldnt be a 4th time..lol...brb

 

LOL... awww for real... no wonder you seem to know... haha. Yeah still waiting on a diff. I bought from Fritz. Blew the shiet out of it two weeks ago at the track... Should be arriving sometime this week. Have you done any track time yet on yours? I was always wandering what you would do... And how many HP does your FD has again? I remember reading somewhere, but forgot.

Peace..............

 

LoL yupyup, only took a few minutes in the 3rd gen section to find the problem. That sucks man, I think seanfd3s had a diff laying around here in san jose, but i think it might be a jdm diff. I just bought a cam a few weeks ago, once i get it installed i should be close to 400 rwhp.

 

If what audiobot7 suggested doesnt work, look at your fuses in the drivers side kick panel. Im sure you'll find a blown fuse. Unfortunately I dont remember what that specific fuse is called.

 

Okay so i found the box and the blue relays..Heres the funny part. I cant get the damn things out. Im afraid of breaking them. Crap...wroihriwhwljsfhs...brb

 

Presto, I changed the blue relays like you said and nothing. So i tottally forgot about the interior fuses.I checked and there was a blown fuse. Prob. solved. Nonehteless Im an idiot. Thanx Rx7today,Audiobot,Fd3,Wan...I appreciate all the help...How do i remove this thread?

 

just remember, if it's electrical issue. "Always check all fuses first"...

 

Must be more than one fuse cause its the interior light and parking lights.

 

well 4 some reason i changed the fuse and all the lights tsarted to work...I dunno..lol

 

And if that doesn't fix it then buy a new hat!!!!!! Sorry Anthony, I couldn't help myself.

There's no way one fuse could control both the interior lights and parking lights. Must be both the fuse and a loose relay.

 

Or a fuse and a wet relay like you originally suspected.
