2001 C-5 Base lighting not working
2001 C-5 Base Model
Hello -
Tried to find info here on CF; unable to. Today I noticed that my fog lights, rear side marker lights and tail lights fail to come on. I'm supposing they are all tied together somehow on a common fuse or relay? More specifically, I noticed that a few months ago, my fog lights would only come on only after usually driving a few miles. The dual switch (fog lights/ trunk release) DOES operate the hatch release, but I have no amber light on the switch anymore for the fog light activation.
Please help.
Thank you.
BTW: If I need to replace a relay, how in the hell do they remove? I've tried and I know I would break it before it would pull out.

License plate lights are out. Back up light are out too. My 4 way flashers work. I had read somewhere that if it doesn't work, it can affect the lighting issue I have. ??? I have operating DRLs, headlights, turn signals, all interior lights (except dash lights) and brake lights.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thank you sooooooo much for the great info!!! OK, if I need to replace a reley, how do they detach? Fuses are simple. Where do I find replacement relays at a cheap cost?
Thanks

Fricken Weird! Problem resolved? I went out into my garage a little while ago (dark out, garage lights off) and I see that all my Vette lights are on (except headlights). WTF? I opened my driver's door to find that I had accidentally left my light switch on the turn signal lever to the "parking lights" position. I had been turning the lever on & off several times seeing what was going on.
It had been in this position for over 24 hours! I now have ALL my lights back! I am presuming that: 1) a relay(s) may have energized or, 2) the contacts in the light switch made contact enough to run current to active the running lights. Maybe there is a damn ghost out in the garage... who knows. Now I hope the damn car starts!
