electrical and lighting issue!! HELP

hey everyone

so here is my problem. when i turn on my headlights at night, they turn as usual, however, all of my interior lights do not come on, and also, unless i use my flashers my tail lights dont work when the headlights are on??

so for the past weeks i have been using my flashers at night, with absolutely no interior lights

anyone ever had this problem?

any advice will help

thanks

Check Fuse #6 in the IP Fuse Block. If it's good you need to troubleshoot the Multi Function Switch.

What's going on? Did you troubleshoot down to the switch assembly, or did you just change the part?

Good time to troubleshoot.
