Default Dash and Tail Lights inop

Hey everyone, ran into a problem with my FD's interior dash lights and tail lights not working. I found the tail fuse blown in the fuse box, replaced it and still both are inop. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can help me try to figure this out? Thanks Matt

Sorry its taken me so long to reply back but, I checked all of the fuses and they are all good, I even switched the TNS relay thinking that might of been the culprit, but still no luck so I'm starting to think the headlight switch might be bad

I had the same thing happen to me when I was in England. It turned out that something inside the dash had blown and the electricians (though not very good) ended up rerouting a bunch of stuff behind my head unit.

I'd take the car into a reputable auto electrician and ask them to check back there.

most likely blew the the dimmer switch were you messing with your radio? theres wire in there for the radio illumination that will blow the dimmer if they get shorted out

I had the same problem with my mx3 no dash lights and would keep blowing the tail light fuse. the mx3 has the same dimmer switch, theres tons in the junkyards
