Usually, open circuit conditions are caused most commonly by:
There are probably a few more possible causes which I can't recall, but these are the most common.
Check grounding wire's then use a test light
DVDs
Probably the rubber bumper/stopper which depresses the brake switch is gone/disintegrated. Check beneath the brake pad for broken pieces. Without this piece in place, the switch is always closed and therefore powered to light up the lights.
Check to be sure that the headlight switch knob, has not been rotated to turn off the dash lights. This knob acts as a dimmer switch, when rotated. This feature of the switch works on a rheostat. This can also be broken or corroded. If all of this checks out there is also a fuse for the dash lights. check the fuse ,if not the fuse replace light switch
Answerit could be because one of your tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights, etc. the dash light goes off to let you know this. there is nothing wrong with the dash, probably. then again i have also seen minor electrical parts fried that cost an immense amount of mula. try the lights new answeri hit a deer once and that same thing happenned to my '88 century. I ended up replacing a fuse in the dashboard fusebox that, in the manual that came with the car (if i remember correctly) did not directly correspond to either the dash lights or rear lights. only after checking ALL the fuses and after the replacement of this supposedly unrelated, yet obviously blown fuse, they worked.My wife decided to jump start another vehicle during our ice storm and burned the contacts in the light switch.. which was the contact to bridge the dash/taillampsNew answer:I had this same problem with my 1990 Century. All my lights worked (except dash/tail) and my fuses were good. Replacing the head light switch took care of the problem. I hope that helps
Check to see if the parking/tailights are working Could be a bad fuse, or switch Could be an open in the dimmer rheostat
I have a 1990 Chevy 1500 truck the brakelight switch is disconnected and it has no connector going to it. I replaced all the bulbs. And still my running lights are in the on position when i turn off the truck. My brake lights are still not working after replacing the lights. I have a RV brake accuator also under the steering column can you help me solve my problem?
frist remove turn signal/marker lights then remove grill from rad support.
Check grounding wire's then use a test light
You could do it but it would be much cheaper to just buy a good used 1990 GMC 4+4 truck and drive it.
check that you have double filament bulbs in tail lights

If the headlights are not working correctly on a 1990 Corvette, the fuses or lights could be going out. Replace the old fuses and check that all wires connected to the lights are functioning correctly.
