97 s-10 taillights, dash light don't work

[zgh1999]

Problems, problems and more problems.

We changed the ignition module, it now starts and runs great.

We then changed the brake pads and rotors (normal maintenance) and it stops great.

Now I have no taillights or dash lights. For a while now it has occassionally been a problem and turning the headlights on and these things now working but we could always shut them off a time or two and then they would finally work. Now, no such luck, they won't work at all. The headlights do still work but I leave for work before the sun comes up and get home after the sun goes down.

Any ideas on what the problem might be? Our first step is going to be to replace the switch itself. Could that be our problem?

I'd suggest going under the dash and checking the connections where the end of the ign. switch module bolts together. Perhaps one of the smaller single row connectors on the 3-connector block isn't making proper contact.

If everything there is ok, and all your fuses are intact, then I'd look at the light switch itself.

Good luck, keep us posted.

They are on the same fuse/circuit, check the fuses then focus on circuit in and out of the headlite switch.
