Tail&park lights/illumination

[MaoriUtility]

The battle continues..

Driving home last night the dash illumination light died.
Wasn't until I got home and realised my Park lights and tail lights were gone too...after checking the fuse I found it was blown. Replaced blown fuse and that one blew as well. None of the relays under the bonnet seem to correspond with my problem, but there are 2 relays(unmarked)in the kick panel. Is one of these related and Will my next port of call be to replace the appropriate relay? I have no idea where to go from just replacing fuses...I hope I can fix this cause its a little dangerous driving at night, thanks in advance guys

Under the bonnet fuse box the very back relay is for headlights same row as charge relay.
But I would probably think you have a short in your wiring some where you will have to trace the wiring back from your lights.
Could be a dodgy light switch also.

Have you done any work on the electrics? Do you have a trailer plug fitted? Finding a wiring short is lots of fun ........not.

I would start with lights fitted to bullbar or bumper rather than dash

Have replaced alternator and removed dual battery, I'm a bit suspicious about one of the park lights as it would take a few seconds to turn on...I'll start there I guess...let you know how I go

Problem found and solved...happy as now. Now I can drive at night lol

What was the problem?

There was a naked wire at the back of the center console that was shorting...I was installing a digital volt meter in the dash and found it by pure luck..so I taped it up, replaced the fuse and now I have lights, yay...
Shady stereo install...I may pull the whole thing out and start over
