Lights out
 

I have a '98 Sahara and the other night my dash lights went out. No
biggie, I figured just a fuse. Next night got stopped by a cop to
inform me my tail lights and brake lights were out as well. Checked the
fuses and they looked okay... any thoughts? Is this a DIY or am I going
to have to get a shop to fix?

Thanks in advance - DM

I would start checking all of the frame ground points.

Good Luck!

Personally I'd lead to a bad switch or relay.

As someone else mentioned though... 'those damned earths!'

Wow, prompt responses! Yeah after posting I remembered newsgroup
etiquette - search the backlog first (apologies - it's been a while
since I newsgrouped). Found some of the same suggestions.

Thanks all - I'll check those grounds. Sounds like the switch is a pain
so here's hoping it's not that.
