I have a 92 with the same issue. The check engine, trac light and traction control lights were all on. Engine would rev up to about 3 grand while in park then slowly drop to the point of stalling then up again. This kept repeating itself. While driving the car would basically have no throttle at all then all of a sudden kick in for a second then do the same thing all over again. I tried the average mechanic route but was not successful. Go see the dealer. I had to suck it up on this one. Ended up being the sub throttle positioning sensor and one of the O2 sensors. Cost me close to a grand for the diagnosis/parts and installation of each. Yikes
Blown fuse? Damaged buss board?
On my Lexus I had an issue with the lights staying off when it was cold. This was the case for all of my dashboard lights. Then they would flicker back on. There are Caps on the board for the instrument panel that were blown. This was the case for my fuel cage that didn't work consistently work as well
If you have multiple lights that do not work it's probably caused by an electrical problem such as one or more fuses blown or a faulty connection somewhere.
depends on which lights? inside over head? /Dash board?/Doors? /front headlights?/Flashers?/ turn signals?/ Backing lights?/ Parking lights?/ So which ones ? what Year??
Check fuse for tail and parking lights Could be a bad dimming rheostat Could be a bad headlight switch
The lights are automatic for your daytime running lights AND your regular head lights. There is a light sensor on your dash that knows when it get dark. When it's dark your headlights will automatically come on, daytime lights turn off and your dashboard lights will dim as a result, since you no longer need them to be that bright when it's dark. As far as the parking brake, it triggers your daytime lights to turn off, so when you disengage your parking brake, they will turn on for normal driving. All of this is a good thing because you never have to worry about turning your on/off...ever.
I am not a mechanic, however as an electrician it sounds like the running board lights are wired to the same relay as the interior lights. To check this, simply crank the truck, leave all the exterior lights off, turn on the interior light, then walk around the truck and look at the running board lights. If they are on then turn the interior light off and the parking lights on, check to see if the running board lights come back on. Depending on the make and model of the truck, I could be way off in left field and this info may not apply. uuummmm.....programing?
Yes, your tail lights will go out when your dash board lights go out.
first check the bulbs then the curcut then the fuses on the fuse board
check the coolant
Check fuse for parking/tailights Check for an open circuit in the dimmer rheostat Could be a bad headlight switch Burned out bulbs?
Need to know what about the dash board lights.
