Hey guys ive come across a problem... i have no dash lights whhich have just recently gone out completely, previously they only went out wen the left indicator was on and they would flick off... so none of the dash lights work but the gauges still work perfect! ive check all the fuses and they look fine to what i can see!

 

Now i also have no tail lights but have break light and headlights! the globes are fine and same with the fuses

 

If anyone can help with the problem that would be greatly appreciated

prob check all your earths? get a multimeter check resistance

Try the little variable resistor that varies the intensity of the dash lights. With age I believe they get a little 'crusty'.

Mine will only work with a little manipulation, and turning it right up will actually turn it off, you have to turn it back a little.

If you've lost the parking and tail lights, it'll be a fuse...

Yes! There's also a fuse box next to the battery in the engine bay... This happened to me once. Blinkers worked, but hazards didn't in my case.

its in the right hand kick pannel in your ae71 you find it easy and just swap it over

You have to wonder why they put an additional fuse box in a place where most normal people would not look!! Unless you have the owner's manual or you were looking under there for some reason (which is how I found mine) you would never find it :y:

 

Right hand kick panel, replace fuse, problem solved I would say :S

Cheers guys, the fuse under the kick panel was exactly the problem... why the f@$k would they put another one there is beyond me!! but thanks to and autoelec the problem was solved $45 dollars later with new globes

 

Cheerin!!

I had a similar problem. Was doing cleaning up my dash meter and with all of sudden, short circuit one of the wire.. Boom! Dash light, park light, and tail light stop working.
