Bunch of lights stopped working.

Post by mk2mark »

Hey,

Strange issue with my car, but very specific, so I'm hoping that narrows down where I should be looking.

Recently my passenger side (US car) tail light went out, but it wasn't the bulb. After fiddling with it a bit the license plate lights AND red instrument lights stopped working too.

Car is an 86 us model. I have no idea what could cause all 3 issues, or even if I should assume that the problems are related.

Any help much appreciated, thanks!

My '84 ETM shows a connection between the tail and plate lights at the Rear Lights Check Relay. A quick look finds no common point with the instrument lights. I have no clue about an '86.

Fuses and grounds are a good place to start.

Download an '86 ETM as well.
