92 tail light and dash light problem

Hi I have a 92 black and tan and had a wierd problem arise tonight.
The dash lights are out and the tail lights as well. everything else
appears to be working ok. I checked fuses I, N, and O and they are
fine. So I am kinda stumped anyone have any ideas?


Thanks
Bill

I don't know what those fuses are. The TAIL fuse in the fusebox in the
driver's footwell protects that circuit. One common cause of short
circuits is pinching the wire to the ashtray lamp when reinstalling the
console. Ever had yours out?

The Fuses are for the tail light and interior lights. They are labled
like that in the book. I have nver had the dash and consol off but
previous owners may have and I had something fixed a long time ago and
I know they had to take the console apart so I may have to rip it back
out and see what I see.

if the raido is not original then they had the center console out to install
the new one.
here's how...
