I do not know who decided how to wire these cars, but all I'm reading with research is the same issue I'm having with no result. And every mechanic I ask says headlight switch. I spent $90.00+ purchasing a headlight switch that only does the same thing the last one did. My taillights will not come on, they suddenly just stopped working. My parking lights don't work, my taillights don't, and my dash lights don't work. My headlights still work, and so do the brake lights, along with both blinkers. All fuses have been double checked, the left headlights, blinkers, brake lights and taillights are all on the same fuse and vice versa for the right. Both fuses are fine. What do I do at this point?

Hello, I'm Danny.

It sounds like you are having a wiring issue since you've checked fuses and the switch. Here is a tutorial on how to check wiring:

I would check the ground circuits first. I've attached wiring diagrams below of the exterior lights and your dash lights that aren't working. I've cut the pictures in half to make them larger in size to view easier.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
