under hood lights

My underhood lights are not working...is there a fuse that I should be looking for to re-install to get them back on?

My 91 has the inline fuse for the hood lights located forward of the LS wheel well.

Follow the wires from the lights. They may have been unplugged during work. A mechanic did it to mine. Each light has a plug near the headlights on my '91. Follow the wires. As the other post says there is a fuse somewhere?? I bet they are disconnected

There is an inline fuse just forward of the wheel well. It is part of the bunch of wires that feed the side marker lights. At least that is the case on my 1996. Both fuses were gone...presumably because of blown bulbs. BTW, if you remove that cover for the lights THEY ARE GLASS and will fall when you loosen the screws on one side.

Good luck

ive got a 84. open the passenger side door and look at the side of the dash next to the door. that would be the fuse box.

I had the same problem and i believe that there is a fuse but im not sure. follow the wires to see if anything is unpluged, and for me, my lights were simply burnt out. also it could be that the mercury switch that activates the light may not be working properly.
-good luck

Thanks for the help....the left side (the one I checked the wires on last night and found it to be connected properly) is probably burned out. I plugged the right side in and it's fine. Just need a bulb now...
