This video saved me a ton of time and frustration. I hooked the illumination circuit to an aftermarket JVC stereo. That was a bad idea. The dash light dimmer did not dim the radio lights, so it obviously wasn't right. Now the illumination circuit is disconnected from the radio and it looks just the same at night. Hopefully that will solve my problem. After replacing the fuse, all lights work properly. Thanks for such an informative and time-saving video. Well done.

Thanks for the tip. My 2008 Chevy Aveo5 hatch speedo and tach lights are out. I checked the fuse in the dash fuse box but that was OK. Morning I'll check under the hood. You MIGHT want to install the newer LED indicator fuses though. They make it SO much easier to isolate a blown fuse in the dark (worst time to lose your speedo light!).
Thank you for this. That saved me a lot of time and money. Still need to change a bulb that probably blew the fuse in the first place, but easy enough. Thank you.

I'm going to check the park fuse on my 90 300zx. My instrument lights, high beams, and 2 lower brake lights are out. The 3rd brake, park lights, 4 ways and turn signals are working. Could the hi/low and turn lever be tied to the intrument lights even though the instrument and light switch are on a seperate pod. The new turn signal switch lever is over $200. Thanks for any help.
Inn Deep Thanks for watching & sharing your comment! Let’s get this figured out! It’s very possible that your issues are tied to the Park/Lamp. We also recommend checking every single fuse & verifying that all fuses are in good operating condition. It’s also important to verify that you have spare fuses positioned in the spare fuse slots! Reference the diagram & verify that a fuse is positioned in every single slot that the diagram shows a fuse to be. Let’s start there! Keep us posted!

I just came across your video & I went outside & turned on my lights & I have no tail lights on my right side, sure enough I check the fuse & it's blown!! I don't want to drive right now cuz it's dark & I'm more worried than ever to drive now with no lights on my right side & not having a clue how fast I'm going so I'm praying that in the light of day tomorrow when I replace that fuse I'll not only have right hand side tail lights but that my dash will light back up too!! I'm driving a 2005 Dodge Stratus Coupe SXT by the way.
Good morning & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. We appreciate you reaching out to us Robyn. Keep us posted on your project. Let us know if that new fuse gets you back up and running. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders well I'm not sure yet! I put the fuse in, turned on the lights to see & the damn thing blew again right away! I did just have to get the wiring on that light rebuilt a few months ago so that could be my problem. I'm taking the car back to them on Wednesday. Who knows how long that light hasn't been working! At first I kept blowing the fuse for my brake lights almost ever time I drove, carried a whole box of fuses with me at all times! The wrong bulb had been put in last year & burnt the connection where the build got screwed in. Sorry this is all jumbled but it's late & I can hardly keep my eyes open. Anyway I'll let you know! Thanks again for the video!
@@robynharkey5865 Thanks for the reply Robyn. Check the underside of the fuse box. Look at what amp fuse the light is requiring. If it’s requiring a 20amp fuse & the shop accidentally put in a 10amp fuse, it will blow every time. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders well you were right!!! The fuse was blown on my right tail light because when they replaced the wiring on that side when they put the light back in place a wire had been bent & over time got pinched causing it to blow the fuse which also took out my lights on my instrument panel. Now that they have unpinched the wiring & replaced my fuse I have all tail lights working & I will now be able to see how fast I'm going when I drive at night, my instrument panel lights do go off the same fuse as my right tail light. Thank you so much! If I had not found your video I would not have known my tail light was out on that side & that the 2 were working off the same fuse!

Thanks for checking out the video Ty Boyd! Whats the update...Have you checked the Pk/Lmp fuse yet? In most cases, its the fuse however if your fuse is still good, we need to look deeper into the electrical system. There might be a short somewhere. I recommend removing the tail lights and checking to see if you see any loose wires...usually never the case however we can't rule it out...In addition, its possible that the splice kit/box may beginning to fail...again less likely than a blown fuse!

I have the same 2007 Chevy Aveo, but my problem go a lil far, my dash wasnt working at all, speed, RPMs, ODO, same with the 1st speed of my whipers, my tail lights and my windows. I open the fuse box inside, next to my dash and found the burned fuse, everything started working but the problem now is that just works if my front lights are ON, what can be causing the problem?? Thanks
Frank David Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience Frank...let’s get this figured out! There is a fuse labeled ( Illum Lamp ). Let’s take a look at this fuse.

My 2008 acadia has gauge problems. All the gauges work but back lights on the gas, temp, and battery gauges DO NOT light up. The speed and tach gauges are still back lit. Any suggestions ?????? All my lights work all the way around the vehicle . Thanks !
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It’s very possible that you have a lightbulb burnt out. Although we have not changed the internal instrument lightbulbs on an Acadia, we have a on Toyotas. Below is a link to a video that shows us replacing the internal instrument lightbulb that burnt out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8MDOZg1hZE.html 😎👍🔧🔩
my celica toyota have no dash ligths at all and no aircon even when starting it totally black out...i called my electricians twice and fix f9r an hour but after rested an hour still black out...what happened??lossen wires??i dont know...
Thanks for checking out the video. It can be a couple different things. Its possible that the wires have been harmed...such as over heating/melted. Take a few minutes and inspect your wiring under the hood near the firewall as well as the wiring inside the car near your foot pedals. Its possible that your "Ground Wire" has become loose which leads to the intermittent operation of the lights. Check the fuse box...Verify that you have the correct fuse in the slot for the lights...example: if it calls for a 10 fuse...make sure you insert a 10 and not a 15 or 20. I have attached a video that shows me replacing some bulbs behind the instrument panel...it might help you.

DIY With Michael Borders fuses are ok. Checked the fuse mentioned in the video and the cluster fuse. I will now check the wires I guess. Forgot to mention that the tail lights worked ever other day in the beginning, but now not at all.
Evan White Thanks for the reply! Lights working intermittently is almost always due to a loose ground connection. At this point it’s important to check all wire connection points as well. You may want to remove the new bulb you put into the front drivers h/l. See if this alters the activity you are experiencing. It things go back to normal...we need the address the front drivers h/l wiring, harness, and get a different bulb.

I don't understand - don't the tail lights work at the start of video? You showed they turn on when you depress the brakes...isn't that how they are supposed to behave?
0pt618 Thanks for checking out the video. When this fuse blows...you won't have any Tail Lights after turning on you headlight switch.

Its rare that the actual light burns out which leads me to the 101 splice kit. Recently I spoke to an individual that had a shop look at his car dealing with same issue and found that one of the wires within the 101 Splice kit had rusted/burned to a point that was not allowing it to allow electric current to pass through it. 101 Splice kits can get pretty expensive when having shop or dealership repair them. Keep me posted
What if i turn on only the park lights, and only the gauge light is not working? but the parklight/tail lights is working while the park light is switched on? Buf if i turn on the fog lights, the gauge light will work. Usually if i turn on my parklight, the gauge light is on.

Good morning and thanks for reaching out to us. It sounds like you have a short or a loose connection somewhere along your electrical wiring. Do a quick inspection of your wiring that feeds in and out of fuse box and ensure you do not see any loose connections or signs of stress such as melted, frayed, or crimped wiring. 😎👍🔧🔩
i checked all the fuses, every one is good. how do i know if the bulb behind the dash board is still good? if its bad how do i change it without calling mechanic.

I'm going to check my fuses tomorrow. Hopefully that's my problem too. I pulled the old dash out of my 92 Miata but I kept all the same wires from the old one, when I hooked everything up my gauges wouldn't light up and the gas gauge doesn't seem to go down when I turn the car off. I haven't checked the tail light. The interior lights also don't light up but I don't think they did before
Anthony, thanks for checking out the video. I did some research on your vehicle and I have found that many people have run into your very experience. Looks like there was a recall on the instrument cluster for this vehicle years ago. You vehicle is covered if still below 70,000 miles and less than 7 years old. I have found that most people experienced this issue around 125,000 miles. There are other Escalade owners that have run into just one side failing while the middle and other side still work. There is usually 1-3 electrical connection points that clip into the back of the entire instrument cluster...one may have come loose...not likely though because if its just your fuel not working and your engine temp gauge is...then its connected. I recommend calling the dealer and explain the issue...get a second opinion. The cool thing is there are a few RU-vid videos that show changing that instrument cluster. It might be something you can do at home. Keep me posted. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome!
momen kareem Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. The most common cause of this is an electrical short somewhere along the wiring.

I've checked the hatchback vs the sedan fuses boxes and the hatchback doesn't have that fuse by that name....so I'm wondering if it's just labeled differently in the hatchback?
Grace Thompson After opening you Door, you will notice a small plastic access door on the side of your dash...left of Steering wheel. Inside are additional fuses. Locate the (Cluster) fuse and see if that has blown.
manu gruni What’s up manu gruni... Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment. You can definitely use the spare fuse. It is important that you use the same size fuse...ex: don’t replace a 10amp fuse with a 5amp fuse...not good!

hi/hello i got kia cerato 2006 my dash lights don't work but its works when i reverse and i checked all fuse any idea what this issue can be thanks for any help.
Hey there thanks for checking out the video. I did a little research on this vehicle. 1. Several Kia Cerato owners have found the problem to be a lose connection behind the instrument cluster. This will require you to remove the cluster and check connections. You may even need to readjust the tension on the connection cable. 2. Previous owners have experienced a lose or acting up headlight switch which is on the same circuit and may alter the workings of other bulbs. 3. In 2006, there was a Manufacture Recall on this issue and was announced that all repairs by a certain date will be covered however that date is expired.....maybe the previous owner had it replaced.....any records of if they did or not???? Keep me posted....Subscribe to the channel that would be AWESOME :-)
Hiya folks I've got a Skoda superb elegance 2012 model and the clock is half lit up but flickers now and again and by the way the speedo clock is factory fitted with leds any idea folks? Is it that fuse in the video I need to check?

DIY With Michael Borders the clutch and flywheel was changed recently then this flickering happened so from what I gather the earth (ground) on car battery has a poor connection?

Just bought new fuses from O'Reilly's and replaced both the pklp rh and the pklp lh but dash still won't light up.. could it be the lightbulb or other fuses? Something else I'm missing?
User Bummer...double check the electrical connection point on the bulb. Also check to see if the bulb needs to be replaced. Also keep an eye open for any possible burnt or frayed wires...any signed if this might help solve the problem! 😀

Hey, thanks for the video. I have a Hyundai Elantra 2001. There is no fuse called pk and I have changed the tail -RH (Cause its the right light and the dashboard not working), in fact I changed both tail fuses and nothing worked. Please help
thanks for viewing and commenting. I did some quick research and have found that it most likely is your ( Side Maker BULB ). The reason for all the outages is due to the fact that it all runs on a single circuit. This means once one item on the circuit goes bad "Or burns out"...it turns off all additional items on circuit. Change the marker bulb and see if that fixes the problem. Keep me updated. Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it. Thanks again!
+Michael Borders so I just found out its the fuse, whenever I change it with another 10 it blows immediately so I put a 30 and it's working perfectly. obviously I know this is ill-advised bt at least I know the problem when I take it to the shop. Thanks so much man

Great video. I hope you can help me. I bought an audi a3 2008 and half of the miles per hour part of it it keeps blinking also from time to time the gas and oil lights in the middle flash. Could it be a fuse? Thank you
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. Since the lights are blinking at different times rather than completely not working leads to a definite short in the wiring system. This can be as simple as a loose ground wire. Do a thorough inspection of all your wires that lead to the under side of your dash. Verify that all wires are connected. Check that the fuses are all in and secure in all the fuse slots. Also check the larger wire harness that runs from the fuse box to other wires throughout the dash. Lots to look at, so sorry !! Another option it can be...however "In most cases" unlikely because your car is running fine...your Alternator may be starting to perform intermittently...which can cause the flickering of your dash lights. Like I said though, since your car is running good, this is most likely not the issue....but not to be completely ruled out haha! Keep me posted. Please Subscribe to the channel and turn on your RU-vid notifications that would be awesome thanks again!
Kevin Grove Thanks for checking out the video. This can definitely be an annoying issue. In short...as you know, Fuses are specifically designed to save the electrical system and its wires. Most of the time you run into a fuse blowing on a consistent basis...you may have a short. (Possibly exposed wires that are coming into contact with other wires). I would first disconnect your battery and then begin to look for any frayed, loose, burnt, or damaged wires near your electric box under the hood as well as near your tail lights. If you come across any signs of damaged wires...you'll need to address them. In some cases, electrical tape can be used to secure any open wires however my recommendation is to get a second opinion from a MX shop due to the possible severity of a bad electrical connection. Keep me posted...we can get this figured out together! Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
Ok so I checked the wires and couldn't see anything, unfortunately my large head could get that far under the fuse box, but from feeling around I didn't feel anything loose or open. I just put another fuse in and it has not blown out yet. Thanks again and I will keep you updated later tonight if it happens again (hopefully it doesn't)
Kevin Grove Very cool. That's good news! Also you might want to check the connection points that your fuse fits into and clean out any debris/corrosion....Make sure your battery is disconnected....if you have an air compressor, you can try to use the air hose nozzle to remove any/all dirt, lint, leaves...
Coyote Trapper 85 Thanks for watching, we recommend disconnecting your negative terminal from your battery & inspecting all wires feeding into & behind paneling leading to your instrument cluster. You may have a loose connection which is leading to a short...which is then causing the wires to overheat and/or arc which will lead to your symptoms. Locating a loose connection point and then re-securing it & replacing damaged wires will hopefully fix your issue. Keep us posted.

DIY With Michael Borders ok so it will come on then the top left hand side of the back of the panel gets really hot then the cluster stops working checked all the wires there good and the wires aren’t getting hit at all just the back of the cluster gets really hot
Coyote Trapper 85 Thanks for the update. Have you removed the entire Cluster for inspection? By chance have you pinpointed any specific wiring or connection leads that are hotter than others that feed into Cluster? If you have access to replacing all light bulbs in rear Cluster, new bulbs may help eliminate increased heat...It’s uncommon however possible. Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩

+Michael Borders I figured it out I made a comment on another video describing how to fix it. But in my case my dash lights wouldn't work my brake lights wouldn't work and neither would my license plate lights and for most people it is the instrument illumination fuse but in my case and most ford cases it is the main light switch fuse
You would need to use a volt meter to check electrical current...it's a bunch of wires that feed into a white harness that separates wires. It's located underneath the fuse box. Did you check the PK LMP fuse that I mention in video already!
Thanks for watching & good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community. We recommend performing a friendly reset.
