No Parker rear or dash lights

[pokiou]

Hey guys im new here and i have a problem with my mothers car...

There is no interior light or dash light no parker lights ... Nothing.
funny thing is .. headlights work fine. and so do the stop lights.. BUT NOTHING else does work.

ive taken the fuses out from the drivers side and they are all in excellent condition..

ive also changed the globes at the rear and they are also FINE....

any1 have a clue to wtf this problem is...

say what model car type if you know

for a laser wiring problem pm vippen
for telsar it is me

once i know I will check my wiring diagramms out to see which ones are connected
as a general question my response is
that it might either be an earth problem or a switch contact at this point


question does your model have a dash dimmer switch ?
does it have any fuses under the bonnet?

Hey dirty hands.

its a 1989 Ford Telstra tx5 AT Turbo.

and yes it has a dimmer light in side the car for the dash board.

in the engine bay there is a fuse box but has big fuses in them.

if possible can i get a copy of the fuse box just for futur referance also ?

Thanks.

you need a volt meter to check for this lighting fault

with the volt meter you can take out the fuses and check to make sure there is voltage reaching the fuses and go from there

Possible causes

that dimmer switch might be faulty ?

or the light controller switch itself

the lights have inline relays that may be where the problem is (little black boxes )

check all the fuses in the engine bay make sure none are blown they should have a visable wire in the top to see if they are intact

I dont have any wiring information for an 89 only up to 1987 they may have changed . I dont want to put up useless information to confuse people

you check to see if you have volts to the lights wiring or contact points as well

the parking lights and dash lights are connected .they share the same wires and relays

Fuse blown. The tail lights and dash lights are on the same circuit, as with most cars. killing your dash lights is like a cryptic way of getting you to check your fuses and then you find the tail light problem will be fixed, otherwise you might never know that the tail lights are out.
