Interior Dash Lights And Parkers And Rear Parkers Not Working!

[booosted33]

Today I thought I'd make a switch to something and in the middle of testing the switch and such something blew causing my Interior dash lights and parkers and rear parkers to stop working, now ive checked all the fuses and they all seem fine (checked all as i cant read japanese!) so I've stopped for the night as its too dark to carry on, im wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what i may have done and what i can do to fix it!?

Any oppinions are welcome

Thanks, Tim.

How did you check the fuses did you actually pull each individual one out, the fuse panels under the bonnet in the back of the boot and drivers under the dash? check the relays i found most lighting is in the back of the boot for fuses, and under the driver side panel, Double check those also in the switch what line did you hook it upto, sometimes the lines actually have fuses in the loops as well, Well aftermarket ones usually do, check for those, as well as did you pull the switch out as well and rewire everything back up?

Just some of the things it has to be a fuse or a burnt out wire in that loop for the lighting Have fun there a pain in the ass to find

Cheers

Agreed! If you havnt checked EVERY fuse in the car do it...cause the fuses for some things are in odd places...eg fuel pump fuse in the front of the car WTF

Ok i feel like an idiot, totally forgot about the boot fuses ill check now thanks!

yeah it will just b a fuse under the dash man

sometimes blade fuses can apear to be fine... use a test light on each poll of the fuse while its in the fuse box to see if 1 fuse is blown

very small chance you have fried a wire. if that is the case, good luck finding it.

Where you installing a stereo or had one installed recently?

A common skyline problem which a lot of people have is hooking up with dimmer to the ground on the stereo because it's been misread

causes all the dash lights + tail lights to go off and blow a few, it's pretty funny, driving down the motorway at 100 clicks with no tail lights...

I had the same problem happen. I installed my stereo using the existing "ground" wire from the original head deck. This then blew the dash lights and rear tail lights. The fuse was actually in the boot for this circuit. Easy fixed just run a new proper ground wire.

This might help in future too... I can't find the one I did for the boot/under-bonnet panels but there would be some floating around.

None of these fuses appear to be the ones you're after, two more fuse/relay boxes to go

Thanks Marc that will help for future endevours, as for my problem it was a fuse in the boot >.< i totally forgot about the relays there........ silly me. Oh and for the record im an apprentice sparky so it was more a moment of weakness, i checked EVERYTHING bar the boot >.<
