Running Lights, Rear Lights and Dash Lights not working

2002 Nissan Xterra: not working are my running lights and dash lights and the interior buzzer. I did find that the 15a fuse was blown which ties into the tail lights. Also noticed that I had a blown brake bulb. Both were replaced and all was working. Later that night problem reoccurred, but this time the fuse hadn't blown. I did replace it again but the problem still exists. I'm driving with no rear lights (brake lights are working). What should I check now or test?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, RJ

Running lights in front sides of vehicle short out in time. I simply disconnected the plugs found inside the front wheel wells and packed them with grease for time being. When the weather improves I will find the chaffed insulation and repair. Replaced the 15amp fuse found under the hood and shwing, back on the road.

I have the same problem and have been told it's most likely a relay switch, maybe investigate that further.

The dash lights and all rear running lights go out when the drivers door is opened.

Replace battery if more than 4 years old. Colud also be a shorted or grounded wire comin thru door.

Nissan 2001 Rear Running lights are out, as are the dash, interior and dome lights. I've heard it's one fuse, 15 amp, under the hood, next to the battery

I know of few cars that place fuses used for lighting (etc) in the engine compartment ...but what do know? lol... I would sooner think your problem is either a relay or fuse INSIDE the vehicle and in close proximity of the fusebox (the one that has the fuse for turn signals, dash, headlamps, 4-way flashers (which is a relay of course). Also, if it controls all of those items, I would be looking for a 20A fuse ....15amp sounds a little 'light'... Cheers mate!

2002 Dodge Van towing a Rock Climbing Wall. No

I would think that the wires from the RCW (rock climbing wall) that control the running lights are wired to the interior dash lights of the van, and a fuse blew, killing the above mentioned lights. Check the fuse block for a bad fuse, probably labeled inst lights or inst lgt. Did you make the trip there in daylight, and trip home at night? The fuse for the dash lights couldn't handle the extra drain of the RCW running lights.
