**Ive done searching but was only able to find the fuse/relay/dimmer problem as the fix.**
My Dash, Tail lights, and Markers went out, when just randomly driving. Normal driving as well. First check of the fuses on the cold rainy night, and all fuses seemed fine. Hit the hazards, Ah now the markers and tails flash. But I remembered its a different power source/filiment. But THEN!! Hit a button on the alarm (It flashes, markers, tail lights, and dash lights.) and guess what flashed. Everything lit up fine then.
But looking at the alarms wiring it gives its own power source.
Ok, this is how it gets complicated....
-Fuses are all good(multimeter ohm tested).
-Relays (swaped some working ones in the Brakes place), No joy
-Dimmer, tried jumping it in all the combinations and again, no joy.
-Bulbs all seem fine.
Something interesting I found, Dimmer, Front signals(the non turn signal filiment), and Side markers all have no power even coming into them when the (Parking Light/Running Light) position is on.
More info....... Looked into the relay..
I can jump the lights to come on through the relay. BUT! obviously they wont shut off then. So now I bet your ready to say relay, nope. Ive swaped working relays in its place but still wont work. So after checking, im getting no signal to activate the relay!
Someone mentioned the column switch for the lights being the problem. Never heard of those going bad? But I will go to a junkyard and look for one regaurdless tues.
