The instrument panel cluster,tail (driving) lamps,& license plate lite do not lite. fuses 9,14,20 are ok. what else could be bad or broke?

STOP and PARK LPS will be tail lights.

ILLUM and GAUGES will.be dash lights.



STOP
Stop/CHMSL, Stoplamps

GAUGES
IP Cluster, DRL Relay, DRL Module, HDLP Switch, Keyless Entry Illumination, Low Coolant Module, CHIME Module, DRAB Module

PARK LPS
License Plate Lamp, Parking Lamps, Taillamps, Front Sidemarkers, Glove Box Ashtray

ILLUM
LP Cluster, HVAC Controls, RR HVAC Controls, IP Switches, Radio Illumination, Door Switch Illumination

tell good and bad, not just bad things.!
car starts and runs and drives ok? day time?
dash dimmer turned down, kids played with dads car?
well tail lamps dead (really are up to 10 or more parking lamps dead, is blow fuse or BCM failures.
why not scan the PCM see DTC errors first. save tons of work , if DTCs are there.
cars have 2 or more fuse boxes. cab and bay(engine)
did you check them all?
if car drives, I will say why parks fails. front and rear and sides of cars. are park lamps as are license plate lamps.
the BCM body brain on this car is SJB smart junction box.
SJB Fuse F2 and F3 good
and the HL switch not bad, and park switch there good
the SJB has CPU brain and a park relay
if the CPU sees park turned on it closes the park relay in SJB
there 8 park lamps.all 8 lamps run off fuse F3
so if one lamp works, then F3 is good if all 8 are dead F3 is blown
or the relay is bad.

these words assumes car runs. (engine runs)
and the battery is not dead
nor battery at 10vdc or less.
I check all that and all is covered in the service manual I just read.
for you.

are the bulbs good ? Do the tail light's , park light's work ? These light's all come on when you turn the headlamp switch on to park lamps or headlamps .

Turn ON the park lamps.
Observe the license lamps.
Do the license lamps operate properly? Yes - No
No ? Go to Step 3
Do the park lamps operate properly? Yes - No
Yes - Go to Step 4

Remove the inoperative license lamp bulb.
Connect a test lamp between the instrument panel lamp fuse supply voltage 1 circuit of the inoperative license lamp bulb and the ground circuit of the inoperative license lamp bulb.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Turn ON the park lamps.
Did the test lamp illuminate?

DIMMING FUSE 10 amp - located in the under hood fuse box .

Instrument panel fuse box ,location
Fuse Block-I/P
Right side of the I/P, in the right front door opening

Turn the parking lamps or headlamps on in order to illuminate the instrument panel and instrument panel cluster lamps. Voltage applies at all times through the TAIL fuse to the tail relay. Turning the turn signal/headlamp switch to the PARK or the HEAD position provides a ground path to the coil side of the relay to G202. The ground path energizes the coil of the relay. This closes the contacts in the relay. The closed contacts apply voltage to the IP dimmer illumination controller and all the illumination lamps. The illumination lamps are ground through the illumination controller. The controller is located on the left side of the instrument panel. Since the illumination controller is ground to G200, the lamps illuminate when voltage applies. The intensity of the instrument panel and the instrument panel cluster lamps is adjusted by the controller (4). The controller controls the intensity of the lamps by controlling the amount of current from the lamps to ground.Check the tail relay !

Check 20Amp LP Park Fuse in Underhood Fuse Block (mounted to right strut tower) Check 15Amp Tail Lic. Lamp Fuse In IP Fuse Block.

that line on that fuse is shorted, the fuse saved the fire.
we use an ampclamp DC ammeter to find the wire that is shorted
and the actual point of short.

the park-tail circuit (tail fuse, right) is the most complex of all.
20 lamps inside car, and many out side, it is the hardest to find of all shorts. but not with the tool
first check for damage behind all park lamps
i bet the fuse blows in park (1st click) not head lights. right?
side lamps the 4 front rear park lamps, some call it tail its not really tail now, was in 1920 ,not now. park is everywhere.
but the fuses can be marked tails, for fun .
imagine, calling the 2 front lamps tails. and are on .(my on going joke)
sidelamps,
the inside lamps are many too.
all dimmable lamps. so turn the dimmer down to zero and see if fuse blows now, NO?, bingo.

the best way to fix this is , visual inspections for collision damage or wire hacks in the cab.
then the fuse is pulled and circuit breaker inserted 15amp
(they sell em)
then we connent the ammeter to the wire (output of fues)
i push the switch and amps goes to infinity and the CB trips
if follow the cables, and find what line is shorted.

i missed one problem
on the rear or front 4 corners of the car may be twist lock blubs.
like 1157 or? these love to short. push in lamps never short.well not the lamp actual.
in not sure what lamps the 06 uses, but replace the brass based lamps. (in park tail ckt)

The fuse for the tail lamps is located in the Instrument Panel Junction Block under the left side of the dash behind the lower finish panel. It is marked "TAIL" and it is a 10 Amp fuse.

HINT: If this fuse is blown, your front marker lamps and your license plate lamps will also not be working.

Please also read this article: Where's The Fuse?

If you are having a problem getting your tail lamps to work, The common problems on your vehicle is bad grounds inside the tail light housing. They tend to get loose at the rivets that hold the light socket and the ground wires to the plastic housing. I have fixed many of these by drilling out the rivet and drilling a small hole COMPLETELY through the tail lamp housing at the rivet location and installing a long, skinny bolt with a nut and lock washer to re-mount the light socket and ground wire.

Another possible cause is a failed rear lamp warning module failure. If your tail lamps are not working and the rear lamp warning light in your instrument cluster is not lit, then this could be the cause.
