Marker and gauge lights dont work!!!!!

[KillerBee1972]

I just finally got my car back on the road now for the past 3 weeks, driving everything was fine!! yesterday went to put it in the garage and turn on the lights the gauges flickered and then off!!! i still have my headlights and interior lights. no marker lights or gauge lights!!! Fuses are good!! Could it be a bad relay??? Help

Does each marker have a good ground/connection to the body?

maybe the dimmer/wiper switch is dirty causing the dash light issue.

do you have parking lights ( front AND rear positioning function with license plate light )?---- they light on with sidemarkers too

do you have glove box light ?

do you have cigar lighter ?

All those lights have relation with one same fuse.

Cluster  have relation with same fuse than functions above too, BUT they have a second fuse from the light switch output to the cluster only, and is one of the top ones ( can't recall which one right now )


front parking and sidemarkers does have a common ground at a side of batt on radiator core support, but is the same ground that headlights too.

rear positioning function, license plate light and rear sidemarkers have a common ground too on trunk, at a reinforcement on rear driver side, but is the same ground than the brakes/turn/hazzard function

So if rest of exterior lights works, then is not a ground problem.

IF, REALLY fuses are ok ( glovebox is lighting on, would it mean at least the input to switch is ok ), then the only explanation should it be switch got damaged

BTW just edited... I had posted about dome light, but it is not on same net, is just glovebox light and cigar lighter

Cigar lighter does not work i dont think the glove box light works and the lic plate light never worked!!
When i tested the fuse for power all worked except the Accs. one, brand new fuse in it but does not light up!!

sorry, license plate light is directly grounded to bumper, not with a wire...

It could be the switch then

I spent all day working on the car and just playing with all of the wires, got them to work!!! I think i just had a loose wire!!
Thanks For All Of Your Help!!!!!

then check carefully on the area you moved, because a loosen wire could cause a burnt
