Hey guys, so one night as I was driving home my headlights fog lights and taillights all went out randomly, first I checked all my fuses and they were fine, so I replaced the relays that had to deal with the problem, yet nothing. So I traced the wires and everything is fine. I have no clue what went wrong, anythought?
 
Have you trigger the relays to see if the wiring is good?.
Apply current to the relays to trigger them and see if they turn ON, If they do then check your switch light at the steering section.

If they don't turn ON, then something is wrong with the wiring or the light bulbs are not good.
Check that and report back.
 
Will do that thanks mate

Hey miguelmcv I triggered all 3 relays and they work fine, the switch on the steering seems to be working my lights pop up and everything. It's a 1g so I can't tell if the bulbs are burnt, all I know
Is no taillights head lights or fogs. This happened when I was wiring my
Boost gauge in, could I have shorted somethig else out?
 
If it happens when you were wiring your gauge, then probably you did some thing wrong there.

When you said, you trigger all 3 relays and it works, do you mean the head lights works?, or the relays worked by them self?..

It sounds more like a fuse, check the fuses, but don't just test them, remove the fuse and put it back in there, sometimes they are bad and tested good, but when you remove them, it shows up.
 
Could be an issue with the ignition area. Since the headlights only turn on when the key is turned to the on position.
 
Sorry what I meant was I did what you said and gave them power, the taillights fog lights and headlights all triggered, and okay I will change out the fuses today see if I can get anything then, thanks for the help
