Hello Sir,
My dsah lights stopped working as well as the speedo. Are these 2 related? If not can you tell me if the fuse can be responsible for the lights not working. Thank you.

Hello

Thanks for the generous donation!

It is most likely a fuse. Fuse panel is just below steering column. It should release with a push of a button for easy access.

Fuse 15 and 24 are the fuses that operate with the instrument cluster. Not a bad idea to check them all though. If the speedo quit working at same time as lights then they are most likely connected.

Hope this helped. Thanks for using 2carpros. Com!

ALL FUSES CHECK OUT GOOD. LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON MANUALLY, HOWEVER, WILL COME ON WHEN OBJECT PLACED OVER SENSOR IN DASH?

So the lights do come on when the sensor believes it is dark enough, huh? But manually, they will not turn on?

This would probably indicate that the switch is faulty, or the wires running to and fro the switch are faulty. Check for power running to the manual switch.
