***DashBoard & Tail lights not working. Headlights working fine. Don't think it's a fuse issue***
Asked by Rachel Jan 12, 2015 at 03:18 AM about the 1995 Isuzu Rodeo 4 Dr S V6 SUV
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
***Hello There*** About a month ago at night, I was getting in my car to drive, but my
dashboard didn't light up when I switched my lights on. They turned back on the next
day and have worked fine until 3 days ago and now both the dash and tail lights will
not turn on when I switch my night lights on---only my headlights and radio clock will
light up. I've checked the fuses under the hood and inside the drivers side fuse box. I
don't think it's a fuse issue because I pulled out and tested each one manually with a
multimeter. Could there be a bad connection or faulty wiring? I understand that the
dash and tail lights going out at the same time is probably not coincidental, as I figure
they most likely are connected. Any ideas? Thanks for your help--- Rachel

it sure sounds like a fuse the fuse for tail lights also controls the dash lights only other thing I can think of is maybe a faulty headlight switch but once again it sure sounds like a fuse
I check my fuse and taillight and dash light still. Not working
Have you figured out the problem my Isuzu is doing that now been checking everything and still don't know the problem thought it was just the fuse but now when we put new fuses in they blow not even a minute later
mine have the wires behind radio need to be moved around lights will come back on till it happens again.mine every few months will have to take dash apart to fix it wright

exactly that happen to me on my 02 rodeo yesterday. it was a short in that fuse system . I fixed it by checking all four corners for bulbs. FOR ME, it was the drivers front turn signal bulb was lose on contact. Took it off and and put it on again, and whallaaah. my fuse stop blowing.

I have a 92 Amigo with no dash or tail lights as well..all pertaining fuses and relays are fine. All bulbs are new, I've found 2 ground wires on the entire loom, 1 in the cab under the carpet and the other on the backside of the back bumper. Those have both been cleaned good for a good ground. STILL no dash or taillights. I pretty much have all but given up at this point.

Hi I am having a similar problem but mine is bit peculiar. When I turn on the desk board light where the tail gate lights gets turn on at the same time, the problem is it doesn’t gets on when I turn on but sometime later it gets on by itself provided that I keep the switch on. This has happening for sometime, I checked the relays and fuse, they look all good and they are not loose either. Toyota Corolla 2007 is my car. Has anybody facing similar problem like mine? And does anyone know how to rectify this problem please. Help me out
After checking everything Went to auto electric shop It’s the rear brake light holder short So check your bulb holders
