Ceck to see if your tail lights are working. some cars are set up that way to let you know that your tail lights are not working

AnswerMost cars have a sliding switch that adjusts the intensity of the dash lights, if you turn the knob (or adjust the slider. . . whichever) and nothing happens, then the switch is probably either gunky or dead. Spray some electrical cleaner in there and work it around and if nothing changes, it probably needs replacement.

And if that don't work, check the 5 amp fuse.

I have a 97 accord lx and the fuses are good. The headlights work but dash lights and tail lights do not. There is a slight burning smell when I turned on headlights after about two minutes.?

The burning smell indicates a short in the electrical system somewhere. I would start by replacing the headlight switch. If that does not work you will have to have a mechanic look at it.

Why do my Buick century dashboard lights don't work when headlights on?

The dash lights will dim when the head lights come on. Check for a dimmer switch on your dash. It allows you to adjust the dash lights so they are not too bright and affect your nighttime vision. It may be set too low.


When Headlights come on dash and taillights do not on my 93 chev truck?

Check your fuse for tail lights. I think the dash and tail lights are on the same fuse so you know when your tail lights don't work. Might have a short or an open in that circuit.

First, check the fuse box and replace the fuse for the indicator lights. If the lights still do not work then replace the dash bulb itself.
