i have not had reverse lights or interior lights (hvacc, gauges, needles) in a while...i finally decided to try and fix it so i took out my dash board....does anyone know where the relay is for these? i also was wondering if the transmission switch (for reverse lights) also effects the interior light....if anyone could help it would be cool i bought blue leds and would like to in stall them soon but not until i fix the lighting issue :confused:
 
i have the same problem, my over head lights work and so does the one in the glove box and the one on the pass side on the florr.

if u find it please let me know.

and yes guys all fuses have ben checked
 
i got the same exact problem i have a 1995 eagle talon esi and my none of my gauge lights work, my brake lights don't and my reverse lights don't work, its a 5 speed manual so there is nothing in the tranny becuase i know for a fact that that is only for automatics, but the fact that i have no brake lights or reverse lights makes it so i can't drive at night at all and thats when i normally ALWAYS drive.. if you figure anything out let me know, its making me so mad becuase i can't see how fast im going and my brake lights and reverse lights not working pisses people off, but my headlights and tail lights and overhead lights work just fine.. let me know if you figure anything out
Thanks,

Brandon
 
everything works except the gauge lights along with the needle and interior lights and brake and reverse lights.. but my turn signals and hazards and what not work.. any ideas?? all fuses are perfect i think i got a short but i can't find the damn thing
 
one of my tail lights wasnt working and it was a grounding issue with where the bulb goes into the socket one of the black wires was disconnected. i would check grounds and its not uncommon for light bulbs to burn out... just saying
 
If all the fuses are ok which are hot in run for that circuit then the problem must be elsewhere from a bad ground, corroded connectors, relay, and or an open circuit. I will see if I can find some diagrams for you.
 
check your wires by your radio. i had a bare wire floating around blowing a fuse under my hood. i believe it was a size 15 fuse. check the wires in their and check your fuses under the hood.

i had the same problem as you
 
i had the same problem with my lights its was a ground wire that was cut.for ## revers on a 5 speed has two sensers speed senser and the revers senser. if ## revers lights dont work it could be the revers senser..i changed my revers senser and it worked fine.
 
i could be wrong, but, maybe your bulbs are just burnt out? or like dsmcrzy said, it could be a grounding issue. I had a similar problem with interior lights. just double check your bulbs if you havent already.
 
If fuses are good, than there is a plug on top of the tranny that may not be connected, that will make your reverse lights not work.
 
ok, ALL MY FUSES ARE FINE, i check them in and out they were all replaced and i still have no dash lights, but if i connect my yellow and orange/black wire coming from the center ( the wires that go to a headunit) they come on, if i keep them connect and the car is off they still stay on but if i turn my headlights on they shut off, any ideas on what the problem is???
 
It have to be the reverse sensor, I have the same problem.
