    well guys got pulled over today to find out my tail lights arent working. my brake lights work and m signal and reverse light works....but the thing that doesnt work is the normal running lights at night. i have LED tails. and i was wondering what to check for my tail lights? fuse? or should i just blow it up?:shrug:...idk if this plays a factor but dash lights dont work either because of a connection...could that be it? the light dimmer isnt connected..

    I would check the headlight switch. It seems its not allowing anything other than the headlights to operate. The blinkers and brake lights are independant of that switch. And whatever isn't connected should be fixed. You'll get it sorted out.

    On my caddis I just had two wires touchin by the lights causing it to short out an blow the fuse. So if I were you I'd just check all the wires on the tails an wrap each one seperately with electrical tape. Change out the fuse an then u should be good. Cuz I noticed that wen I blew that fuse I had blinkers an brake lights just no interior lights or running lights. It'll be the fuse that says gauges or something
