86 iroc update

well, after a long battle ive got it running great, had an issue with the tail lights not working, checked all the bulbs and it was a fuse, i then put the correct amp fuse in there, and now just my tail lights come on. press the pedal, not even a change in brightness. any ideas? even with the tail lights off during day driving they wont turn on either..

its cheap, and sorta easy to replace so no sense in not trying. i had to replace mine last month when i managed to snap it in half while working under the dash.

Re: 86 iroc update

turns out it wasnt the switch, but fuses. now it has slower starts and if its running for awhile radio shuts off, bench tested it at 14.8v in car showing little over 12v, checked the wiring and grounds. all are fine. if it aint one thing its another
