Electrical problem, please help!

[95dsm1g]

Hello,

i own a 1995 GST with at 6 bolt swap. Recently my dash, tail lights, and corner lights went out on my car. The tail lights only seem to work when i press the brake and the signals only work when i hit the switch for them. My dash doesnt light up at all. I checked all the fuses in the engine compartment and the interior under the steering colum. Does any one have an idea of what the problem is?

Sounds like its going to be a blwn relay (big black squares in fuse box.) The guys here can correct me but I'm guessing its the Tail Lamp Relay.

where can i get a new relay?

[gthompson97]

Any autoparts store or the stealership.

Wit, don't jsut go buying things at random. Make sure you don't have a short somewhere cause if you do you will blow that relay ever time. Everytime you turn your lights on it would blow that relay.

no relays are blown, and fuses dont blow whenever i turn the lights on. Im thinkings it might just be the dimmer switch thats bad. it has to be a short since they do work when i turn them on for other purposes

Your parking lights and tail lamps dont run off the dimmer. That may fix your gauge lights.

Yeah I agree, If you just jump it together it should fix your cluster but not your outside lights man.
