Default light problem

Hi everybody, first post here. Have a problem with my lights not coming on. Turn the switch and they pop up but do not light, tail lights are the same. They do work with a jump switch in micro relay #43 and #44 in the inside fusebox. multi function switch or ground maybe? relays are good got them tested. thanks for any help.

Had a similar problem but the dash and tail lights didn't come on. Had to replace the turn signal lever as it controls everything. If you have the sentenal feature try that and see if they work. If they do it could be the same problem i had.. Not sure of your problem though.

I think that it will be the turn signal lever, my dash and tail lights will not come on without the jump switch either. Did the steering wheel have to come off to change it out.

No, you don't have to take off the steering wheel. Dealer might but it can be done pretty easy without doing that. Search headlight switch and there is a picture layout Change - no pictures just instructions of what to do.

It is not very hard. As i recall the best place to get the turn signal lever was Auto Zone $99 and they had it at the local store in a couple days. Think you can find it on their online site, but i got it at local store.

I will see if i can find the thread i used, thought it was easier than they said, but i should have taken off the knee kick panel under the steering wheel to get at the connector 1st. The part around the steering wheel came off pretty easy.

Like in my case the dash lights didn't work nor the tail lights. I had the sentinal so turned it on and everything worked cause it must be on a different set of wires.

Will try to find the thread.
