Hey guys I'm stumped I've tested fuses and checked em all twice over and can't figure out whats wrong. I took my car through a car wash and tried turning on my parking lights after and to no avail did not come on along with my dash (hvac controls included). My headlights still come on. Any places I should test to find the culprate?

There is a relay on the driver side it is a la10 I believe, swap it out with your cooling fan relay and see if that works.

Under the hood to be more specific.

 

[adamvanxxx]

THAT

if you meant the two relays up by the driver side headlight I swapped them and still no lights hmmmmm! of course my boss schedules me to work til 10 the next 3 nights

No up by the firewall kinda tucked under the fender, I believe there will be a cover on it.

 

[donnyg20]

Ohhh OK ill go try that ill report back soon thanks man

There will be several relays its the same one that is used for the cooling fan.

The thing that sucks is they are like $25 new.

You can pull them out of 626's, MX3's, and MPV's at a juck yard though.

Well I found nothing on the drivers side but on the passenger side bolted to the same place the fuse box is bolted was a rectangle box with 3 relays in it I switched the two that looked the same but still no lights

Last time this happened to me, it was a fuse. My various added parking lights are ever so slightly more amperage than the stock setup.

Fuses are easier than relays. Try that first.

 

[donnyg20]

these are the relays i found...I checked the meter fuse that seemed to be in good condition. I tested it with a voltmeter and did a visual. the piece inside of the fuse was still intact

 

[adamvanxxx]

I feel like an idiot, I just saw you have a 99. :fp:

Sorry for the wild hunt, my info is useless.

 

[donnyg20]

its okay man, I should've posted what i had. I'll keep searching tho.

Did you try to turn your lights on right after the car wash, as soon as you pulled out of the spot?
If not if you hit a pretty bad bump perhaps some electrical connector thing that is soldered broke off.
Wish I could be less vague but I don't remember what to call it...
Anyway, happened to my Dad's Dart, one simple piece killed all power to the car, re-soldered it and she fired right up.

I'm pretty clueless as where else to check, The dome light in the cabin works, but turn the light switch once to turn the parking lights on and dash lights nothing happens my taillights don't light up as well. The dinging noise that comes on when the headlights are on/leave the keys in the ignition when you open the door no longer beeps either! Very frustratin as I'm not willing to drive at night and get pulled over and get a ticket for not having my taillights lit.

Dang man wish I could help more. Someome helpful will run across this. GL

 

[adamvanxxx]

But when you turn it on the headlights work?

 

[donnyg20]

when i turn the switch all the way my headlights turn on but nothing else works..I can step on the brakes and the brake lights will light up but go off once i let off. My turn signals work when i use them but thats it. I keep reading about a TNS relay not sure where its at tho...annnnnd i recently put in a new deck but the lights and what not worked after i installed it as well.

 

[ryanXstorey]

Really does sound like a fuse or relay.

 

[donnyg20]

thats what i wish it was, but from looking at all data the diagram says the TNS relay is right next to the fuse box under the hood. And out of the three its the middle one I switched them around and still no lights
