'95 Pathy - Tail Light issue

[prginocx]

Hooked up the boat to go fishing yesterday, everything fine 'til I back into the water. Forgot to disconnect the trailer lights. After pulling out of the water I notice:

No tail lights

No instrument lights (Speedo / fuel / tach)

No Heater control lights

No ashtray light

No front / rear parking lights.

 

Still have:

Interior lights.

Headlights (Hi and lo beam)

Turn signals front and rear

Brake lights (rear)

Backup Lights

 

 

Didn't really have much time to examing the problem, but all the fuses are good, truck runs fine, drives fine. Little crazy to drive at night with no speedo or Tach light, but I made it home...

check the fuses again. that's what went. there are more fuses under the hood.

Popped fuse. Check your fuse panel inside, it's under the dash on the left side.

I DID check all the fuses in the layout under the dash just to the left of the steering column. Twice. Not one is blown. Of course not, that would be too easy.

 

Where are these fuses under the hood ? I do see several fusible links right off the battery hot terminal, is that what you mean ?

you're getting warmer .. keep looking there.. closer to the fire wall.

That's really wierd, cause the only fuse for the running lights and dash lights is in your fuse panel. Try swapping fuses just to make sure...

I did find the fuses for the Head lights. On the R-Fender well under a little plastic cover. They were also fine.

 

The problem turned out to be the 5 into 4 converter which I got at a junkyard for 2 bucks.

 

bought a new one at Uhual and installed it. All exterior lights lights working fine now. I'll have to check the interior ones when it is dark.
