'95 YJ: Tail lights and dashboard lights not working
 

I am finding this very odd: Tail lights and dashboard lights not working???
The brake lights work fine, turn signals fine, hazzards fine, guages working
but not lit, etc fine, headlights fine.
Looked for a dashboard fuse and didn't see one. Any help much appreciated -
even if you start with a flame.

I only start with a flame if she's still cute. ;)

Sounds like the lamp switch. How are the headlamps and front parking lamps?

The ZJ schemats I have arn't going to help much but I'd check all the fuses.
Something in the ol brain is making me think the dash and possibly the wiper
were on the same fuse?

Dash and tail lights are on the same fuse, it's the warning we get
from all cars built newer than 1940.

Hmm, looking at fuse box by the brake pedal and I don't see one labeled
dash? I did replace a tail light one but it wasn't the problem?

Wipers work still, but I will go and check all fuses again.

Frustrating....

Look at the bottom center on fuse panel. It is a 20A fuse.

Re: '95 YJ: Tail lights and dashboard lights not working
 

Blown fuse. The dash lights and the tail lights share the same fuse.

Re: '95 YJ: Tail lights and dashboard lights not working
 

OK, I may be getting close. In the bottom center there is a fuse that is
encased in metal that says 5A-12V?
Is this actualy a fuse? It looks very different than the other normal
plastic fuses that say 5, 20, etc.???

Not sure if it is blown since its all a metal enclosure - is there a way to
check?

Ohm it out if you have an ohmmeter. Usually the all metal ones are
self reseting breakers. They do go bad though. You could go pick up
a spare. Worse off you have a spare. I keep spares for all the fuses
and bulbs. If I ever sell the ZJ, like the Chevy, the stuff goes with it
to make for a better sale and clear the crap..er.. spares.. out of my
garage. :)

Re: '95 YJ: Tail lights and dashboard lights not working
 

Bummer. I checked every fuse under the dash and they all are fine.

Is there any sense in checking the fuses by the battery under the hood?
