Lights out!
Need help trying to figure out why my dash lights along with my turn signals won't work in my 01 Z. They will come on, just not all the time. This also has affected my rear tail lights. No dash, no tails lights. However my brake lights will come on when I hit the pedal and my headlights work fine. Fuses and Bulbs all seem good due to everything will work once the car has been on for 15min or more. Whats the problem and how do I fix?
Thanks.
Thanks.

my blinkers are doing the same exact thing.. sometimes they work perfectly, and other times i get no blinkers. They don't show up in the heads-up display or in dash.. shortage in connection maybe? so it's working sometimes but then shorts out and stops?? it's like a guessing game whenever I turn the c5 on if they are going to work or not lol..

From what I've been reading if the dash and tail lights are out then it's probably the light switch. Here is the repair for it although some think just replace the switch.

I would like to know what causes the tail lights out only. I have dash, head lights, turn signals, brake, and hazard lights. Just no tail lights or lights on with head lights or running lights.
Anyone know what it might be. The ground is shared so it shouldn't be that.
