My dash light for gauges quit, then my taillights and tag lights quit working. Also bulbs are good but can't find right fuse or problem.

Hi,

I need to know which model you have. A Laredo is a package offered on different model vehicles. Is this a Cherokee. Grand Cherokee, Wrangler? Let me know.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi,

The fuse box is under the dash on the left side. Actually, right above where you left foot would sit.

I attached a picture of the fuse box and highlighted the fuse to check. When checking, make sure there is power to the fuse also. Here are a few links you may find helpful.

Within the past year, I sold my 1987. Make sure when you check the fuse, nothing looks overheated and the fuse fits snugly into the box.

Let me know if this helps.
