Dash lights/Parking lights Don't Work - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Dark88 · 10-19-2009, 04:36 PM

On my 86 Trans Am when I turn on my headlights they rotate up and work fine. Unfortunately they won't go back down unless I pull the fuse while I have them off and reinsert it. On top of that my dash lights don't work at all and my parking lights dont work. I checked my recently installed headunit and found that the dimmer wire had accidently got grounded out. I fixed that but all my problems still exist. Is it possible I fried the dimmer circuitry?

You might have burnt out the dimmer.

Using a voltmeter make sure you have voltage going in.

Now, if you don’t have voltage coming out it’s bad.

If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look doofy. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!
