No tail lights and no dash lighting

It's probably just your fuse. The fuse for your dash lights also controls your taillights. Bill.

Yes it can be a fuse, the dash illumination and the tail lights are on the same fuse, check the fuse on the inside fuse panel at the left lower dash, the fuses are marked on the cover, look for the "tail" fuse and try replacing it, if that doesn't fix it let me know.

Your tail lights, license plate ights, and side marker lights are protected by the same fuse that supplies power to the dash lights. Hint: if your other lights are working, the fuse is NOT blown and you don't have to spend time looking for it.

The next thing that deserves mention is the fact that the dash lights are controlled by the dash light rheostat (dimmer switch). Make sure you don't have them turned off with the switch.

If after reading the above, you still think you need to find the fuse, it is fuse #5 (15 Amp) located in the dedicated fuse and relay box in the engine compartment. It is most likely marked "Taillight Relay".

Where's The Fuse?

What Else Could Be Wrong?

Fuse 6 (7.5amp) located in fascia fuse box lower dash,driver side

dash and tail light are on the same fuse, if you lose your dash lights most people will check for the cause due to no speedometer, did you use a wiring kit for your application,

Yes there is also a fuse box under the hood. The schematic for fuses should be in the fuse box cover.

Even though the relay is activated,I assumed you checked the out put?Also,You checked the voltage at the light sockets?With a meter,or test light ,check the fuse for the cluster lps,adjust them to dim,and to bright,the meter should act accordingly on the fuse.If it does not,replace the dimmer control,or head light switch,witch ever controls them.This may allow continuity to the tail lights as well.If the fuse is dead for the cluster lights,replacing the dimmer control,or head light switch will solve the problem,or,from another fuse ,supply voltage to the cluster lp fuse,one that is only hot with the key on,cause if you do this the dash lights will come on,every time you run the vehicle,day,or night.

check the fuses.

start with the fuse. sometimes it is labeled park lights also. if fuse is ok. then check the switch. do you have lights in your dash? it is also connected in parallel with the tail lights .
