Lighting problem.
Hey guys I have a quick question for y'all.
When I turn on my headlights, they pop up no problem, they are on but the taillights, rear markerlights, foglights and instrument cluster lights don't go on. They all work fine so I believe it's a micro relay, does anyone know which micro relay controls that function?
TIA.

Hi themonk -
Have you checked the two fuse panels?
There are two - one under the hood near the battery, and the other is behind a kick-panel in the passenger footwell.
The underhood panel contains several spare micro-fuses, and both feature a complete diagram of the circuits.
I was surprised to find out very recently that each of the headlamps has it's own fuse - hi beam left, low beam left etc.
Both panels also contain many relays, also marked. If you are handy with a volt/ohm meter, you should be able to ferret out the problem if it is a relay.
If this does not pan out, check out the great electrical troubleshooting tips from Bill Curlee in the stickies.
