MjPioneer Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 For the ten millionth time my dash/brake lights have gone out. Checked the bulbs they are good, replaced the following fuses hzd,dome,radio, and every other 15 there is. I still have no dash or brake lights. I have marker lights/tail lights if that helps at all. I'm thinking that it is a ground somewhere but I'm not sure were to look. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkbruin Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I had somewhat the same situation, mine kept eating fuses though. I just upped the amp from (i think) a 15 to a 20, and it stopped blowing out on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gl1200aman Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Interesting. On my 88 there was a loose wire in the dash that blew the fuse for the dash lights and that also took out my tail lights. The brake lights are a separate fuse. Check the ground behind the tail light assembly. IIRC it is behind the left one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJRemi Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I just went through the same thing last week. Double check the parking lamp fuse. I went through 2 in 10 minutes and on the third one I stuck my head down to watch it as I turned the ignition and sure enough, it blew out. Figuring the problem to be a ground, I stared at the battery and worked backwards. I was VERY lucky and found the disconnect about 12" from the battery. Connected wires. Problem solved. Good luck!!

MjPioneer Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I haven't checked the grounds yet, I spent the day messing with fuses. I checked and re checked them and they are all fine. I have tail lights, and marker lights but still no darn dash/brake lights! It's to the point were it must be a ground somewhere. I'll check out the one behind the tail light, but where else should I look? I'm not sure the location of any other grounds. Are there any diagrams to were they could be found?

gl1200aman Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Someone had mentioned there is a ground under the dash on the driver side and another mentioned that the main ground that usually attaches by the dipstick mount. You may also want to check the wire connectors that go to the back to make sure they are making good contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
