Short in the wiring or light bulb socket.
What would cause your fuse to blow when you turn on your lights on your 1993 mazda 323 the fuse to the tail lights on dash lights blow?
Most likely a fuse or a bad ground.
Fuse, wiring, bulbs
That's probably just that certain vehicle. Chances are, there's probably a short in the electric wiring somewhere. Very uncostly.
I had a similar problem with my 1991 Maxima. The dashboard lights did not work. I could not find a fuse. Then I noticed the parking lights did not work. I could not find a fuse. Finally I noticed the tail lights did not work. I checked the fuse and it was burnt. After replacing it all is okay again.
The fuse panel is under the dash by the driver. If your parking lights are also out, your headlight/parking light/turn signal switch is bad.
you need turn switch assy
A loose or corroded ground wire will cause the fuse to blow. Check the ground wires on your brake lights.
They're on a different circuit. The parking and dash lights go through the headlight switch. It could be the switch, a bad wire/connector or a burned fuse.
There is a shorted wire or bulb in that circuit.
short to ground check bulbs in tail, corrosion can do it
There are a number of reasons why your parking lights won't turn off. There could be a wiring problem in the system.
