Welll.... It's time to use a test light. Take the main fuse out and test all the wires on it for power. Determin which wire is driving lights (tail lights) and i would hot wire it to either a power wire from the dash or from the Tail lights. This just might fix everything.
Please leave a good feedback for me on here.
Thanks
Hope this helps.

Hi,

Autozones glossary is limited on your model on this issue. Im thinking a grounding problem you can find out by back feeding the lights. its not recommended but you can try it. try at your own risk. find the hot ash tray light wire and apply power to it using an in line fuse set with a five amp fuse in it. from switched fused power from the fuse box to the hot illumination ash tray light wire. use a multimeter to find your ground wire the other is your dead line. ground wire should be black. the running lights the same. if the side marker light is working make a fused jumper from the hot marker to the dead line from the running lights, use in line fuse setup at auto parts store. 5 amp for dash and 10 amp for tail.my grand prix had more than one fuse box and one more under the hood! totalling three. make sure you check all of them, go to autozone, sign up for free and study where ALL the fuseboxes are. if you cant get any lighting at all doing the above I recommend taking it to an auto electric shop in your area. back feed lighting is your last resort untill you take it in. carry a fire extinguisher now just in case. tighten all ground wires in the process of your illumination.

I have a 2003 honda odessy and dash lights and tail light are not working! Please help?

Both are separate fuses, check them first. Dash lights are controlled threw the dimmer switch. Park lights threw the turn signal switch. If you have front marker lights, then the rear is a ground problem. Ground is at the body, in the back, on the drivers side. If no marker lights at all , replace the turn signal switch. If the fuse is good for the dash, replace the dimmer switch.

Head lights, tail lights and dash lights won't come on.replaced head light switch but didn't resolve problem

Not the turn signal switch if the dash is out also. Check the fuse for the dash/illumination first. If good, then you have a power or ground problem to the switch. If bad and they come on, replace the turn signal switch.

No lights on a 95 dodge neon

OMG. sounds like you have issues. One of the wires must have rubbed through to ground. Start by replacing the wires. Then put in a factory switch.

Head lights, tail lights and dash lights don't work. inside lights, brake lights, and back up lights do work.

need so check ground wires. start at your head lights and fallow the wire harness til you see a wire grounded to the body. check and make sure connections are good and that the wire isnt broken anywhere

1994 silverado illumination on instrument panel doesn't work, parking lights and tail lights do not work but headlights and brakelights work fine. All fuses are good. Is this a bad dimmer switch?

No. Dash lights being out could be a bad headlight switch, since the dash lights are routed through the headlight switch, not the dimmer switch. Park and tail lights also controlled by the headlight switch.

My dash lights dont work at all

The tail lights are usually on the same fuse as your dash lights. Check to see if you have tail lights. If they are on and it's only your dash lights that don't work, check the dash dimmer switch for a fault.

My tail lights and dash don't work.brake lights&turn sigalswork.all fusses are good.

The dash lights are wired together with the tail lights so you will know when the tail lights are not working. If you are positive the fuse is good (tried a new one in the socket) then you have a bad wire. Using a multimeter test the hot wire from the fuse block to the tail lights. It it is good then check to be sure the ground wire(s) are good and making a good connection to the frame.

1986 Toyota Pickup Instrument lights and tail lights out

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.
