Tail Lights/ Dash Lights Don't Work

We checked the fuse and it looks fine but we cannot get the tail lights and dash lights to work. Headlights work fine.

Re: Tail Lights/ Dash Lights Don't Work

Thanks for the tip. How do you replace a multifunction switch?

In order to replace you have to remove the collar around the steering wheel column. I'm not sure about the 95 model year but it should be a matter of a few screws maybe a clip or two then take out the old and replace with the new.

Re: Tail Lights/ Dash Lights Don't Work

Figured it out. We needed to replace the multi-function siwtch that has the headlikghts, cruise control, hazard lites etc. Autozone part number SW859 for $79.99 did the trick. We needed to pull the steering wheel of to get it in place. To do that you need to dienable the airbag by disconnected the battery, pulling the airbag fuses, and waiting 10 minutes before you putt the airbag off the front of the steering wheel. Now all we need to do is get the horn to start working again! At least all lights funcition.

Horn not working is the clock spring thats under the steering wheel which makes contact below the air bag.
