Thr panels can not be repaired It needs a tailight PPPSSttt...There may be a recall for this coming in the near future
parking lights, these are usually tied to the same circuit as the instrument panel lights
Check fuses-- common circuit
You have got a blown fuse. These lights are all on the same circuit.
Should be parking/tail/dash lights on a common circuit
I have the same problem with my 1999. The tail lights as well as the interior instrument panel and the license plate lights are all not working.
Tthe dashbord lights and tail lights are on the same circuit. On my 2000 Xterrra the 15a fuse is located in the fuse panel under the hood labeled 'TAIL'.
Panel lights and parking/tail lights should be on 1 circuit Brake lights should be on a separate circuit If you are sure fuses are good- Check bulbs Check headlight switch Check stoplight switch
Panel lights on all vehicles are tied into the tail light wiring of the vehicle. That way if your panel lights go out you know that both tail lights are out. Check the bulbs of your cars tail lights and see if they are burned out.
Bad fuseTry replacingIf it continues to blow you will have to check circuit to find problem
tail lights circuit
Have you upgraded any lights to LEDs? This answer can apply to any car with this problem but only if LED lights are used. This can be caused by LED 1157 tail/brake combo lights. The problem is that the tail and brake lights are not always as isolated as they should be. When the brake lights are powered on the tail light terminal becomes live. This voltage will power up the park light circuit ie. tail lights, front park lights and instrument panel. The "short" comes after the LED resistors in the 1157 therefore the leaked current is low and will not usually cause any problems unless you have LED's throughout the park light circuit, there is insufficient current to turn on standard light bulbs. Solution is a diode fitted in line on the tail light wires to the 1157s allowing current into the 1157 but not out.
Check parking light fuse - should be the same circuit
