HELP-no dash lights

[94custtal]

Ok, maybe you guys can help me out. None of my dash lights are working, i've checked the fuse box and there is nothing wrong.I have aftermarket reverse glow gauges that worked up until a few days ago hooked up to my park lights. My park lights are also non working.....is there a fusable link somwhere behind the dash that I looked over or what else could it be? plz help

either of you install a head unit recently?
Often the wire marked Illumination is a ground when it should be hot, or vice versa.

I had the same issue in my 3/S and it was the illum wire. I traced it down as best as I could, but happened onto it by chance one day.

If not that, then keep looking

It sounds like you just got a short to ground somewhere, which SHOULD obviously blow a fuse. Replace the fuse with a known good one anyway. I know fuses are supposed to separate violently when they blow but I've had ones that blew and have had hairline separations that looked fine but didn't test out on a voltmeter. Before you go turning on the lights again though, take out the entire indiglo assembly and replace the fuse. If everything works, start over with the wiring, it'll be easier than probing parts of the line trying to find a ground short in my opinion.

If your headlights work, no parking lights and no dash lights; check the tail light relay in the underhood fuse box. I had the same problem and it was my tail light relay that was the problem. Hope this helps.
