Cluster light went out and all my tail lights out except for my brake lights.

Is it a pain to change the cluster bulb? Did I blow a fuse or do I just need to change the bulbs for my taillight? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a short. Did you recently replace your radio/headunit?

 

[4doorast]

I turned my headlights on and boom they went out.

 

[racerguy06]

sounds like you may have just blown the fuse. I would start with that first. they share the same fuse so its a possibility but than there is the fact of what caused it so possible short too

check the fuse

 

[4doorast]

Which fuse is it and where is it located?

 

[EyeKhan]

Pull out this tray because it has fuse layout map on it.

Look under the dash and find the 10A tail light/ license plate light fuse.

 

[4doorast]

Cool thanks under the dash. And just replace the 10a fuse? Also question not only did my cluster go out but my lights for the heating and a/c dash went out. Also my car is automatic so the lights for park, neutral, and gear lights went out.


Thanks!

Ok so I replaced the 10a fuse and it was working and when I turned my car on it blew again. I'm like why?!!!! I know two weeks ago the changed my reverse light.but what could be the probably now?

 

[EyeKhan]

Obviously, you have a short. Did you verify you put in the correct bulb in the reverse light? Also, do you have an aftermarket radio?

 

[4doorast]

Idk I went to get an oil change and they replaced it for me. Yes I have an aftermarket radio, it has been there ever since I bought the car. 3years now.

 

[EyeKhan]

So, this all happened after you got an oil change? Okay, now you're gonna look for any exposed wires. Hopefully, you know how to remove your radio. If not: it's here

Well then...there's a possibility of a loose wire touching ground/metal. Thus, the short. It's most likely the orange illumination wire on the aftermarket radio harness. This happened to my brother's car. Same symptoms:no cluster lights and tail lights aren't lit.

 

[4doorast]

I'll pull out the radio and keep you posted thanks for the input bro

 

[JeremyB]

mine did this a few weeks ago, illumination on radio was shorted as stated

 

[4doorast]

Ok Pulled the radio out ad there is an orNge wire. It is cut in half and not connected to anything. Do I just take it up with electrical tape?
