Running lights not working fix

The taillights on my 2000 outback stopped working and I found a partially hidden fuse that was the culprit. This may work on other subaru models as well.

This was very helpful. A friend of mine needs to do this, so i let her know that if she needed any help that i would watch the video myself so that i can help her from a distance.

I have an issue with my ‘86, lights started flickering and then went out while I was driving. They came back on and I pulled over since it was dark. I had the lights up and I turned the car off, the lights would not close and they never came back on when I started the car. My mindset is a common point, like a switch or a fuse. I checked all of the fuses and they all look good, plus I know they all have separate fuses. The switch still turns my dash lights on and off, but does nothing for the pop ups

[@suprachefgarage9845]

@@azentic sounds like a possibile wire or something. Could also be ground related. It happened to my ranger. Turned out to be a bad ground at the starter. Just a few ideas for you

2014 jetta s and running light not working but brake light, blinker and hazards work. changed bulbs and fuses. any ideas?

[@suprachefgarage9845]

There may be a taillight safety relay or even a separate fuse block for that. I don't know much about VW but was also able to dig this up for you www.volkswagenownersclub.com/threads/rear-running-lights-not-working.112145/

[@admiller1997]

I have an 02 Subaru Outback. I’m not getting any taillights and the instrument cluster doesn’t light up anymore. I tried replacing all the fuses and bulbs. Sadly I don’t think it’s gonna be that easy.

[@suprachefgarage9845]

I don't have my subie anymore but did you check the panel by the steering column? Might have to check forums and start pokikg around with a test light

[@wardencobb7442]

Get under your steering column and make sure all your loom connections are plugged in properly. After that, you can start looking at stuff like fuses, relays, ground, ohms, etc.... A lot of people play footsie with their cars and unplug stuff by accident.

I have the same problem but on my 08 tundra

[@admiller1997]

I have a 2006 chevy equinox I put different headlight bulbs in it and now I have no daytime running lights or a heater. I have checked all fuses and relays they r all good. What do I need to change now

[@suprachefgarage9845]

I picked this out of the forums for you. It's a start Welcome to the forum. DRL is standard on the Equinox, all years. It could be that the previous owner disabled it for some reason. Check the DRL relay in the underhood fuse block. Also, the DRL resistor may have failed as documented in TSB #07-08-42-002. See thread chevroletforum.com/forum/equ...-lights-14651/. In either case, I'd think the selling dealership should fix the problem.

Have same.problem with my 2010 Chrysler Sebring ever since I changed the tail/brake bulb on left side, neither tail lights run now but brake lights, turn signals still work 🤦‍♀️😒 & I can't find any answers as to which fuse is for the tail lights anywhere

[@suprachefgarage9845]

Oh that's terrible. Sometimes I have bulb issues with my supra. If I put the wrong bulb in the holder it causes some weird short or something. I hope you figure it out and I'm sorry I can't be much more help. I always consult the forums too

I have a 94 dodge 2500. All the lights went out and we did replace the turn signal switch it work for a little then it went out. What could be the problem?

[@suprachefgarage9845]

Sounds like you may have a short in the wiring somewhere. Do you have another switch to try? Perhaps the forums could help in this department

[@RockAnAhardSpot]

dont know why this came up as I typed in 1999 CRV running lights, BUT I guess I will just go check every fuse.

I've got a 2011 Ford Edge passenger side tail lights not working, any ideas?

[@suprachefgarage9845]

Im sure you tried the light bulb. Does the brake light work? My supra has a tail light failure box that I had to bypass. Im not sure about ford though. Message me through my instagram and we can maybe figure it out. Ill do some research tomorrow but it sounds like you have a short or broken wire. @suprachef is my insta.

[@tonyc6454]

@@suprachefgarage9845 All other lights are working fine, its just the passenger side tail light that doesn't work

[@tonyc6454]

Sorry I'm sure why that's not there. Yes I changed the bulb. Just changed wiring harness earlier today but still nothing

[@suprachefgarage9845]

Did the harness plug in to the fuse panel? Does the harness control both sides of the taillight system? I dont know much about the ford wiring systems but you can check using a test light too. If it were a bad ground you should still have light but it would be dimmer or something funny.

[@tonyc6454]

@@suprachefgarage9845 no the harness plugged in the same way. Driver side still working, just passenger side out. I'm going to swap out the driver side tail light and put it on the other side to see if that is the problem

[@IAMJKLFORLIFE]

so what exactly did you do?

[@suprachefgarage9845]

I first checked to see if the bulbs were burnt, then I checked the fuse panel and all fuses related to the tail lights. After that I checked the relays and some other fuses. Thats what lead me to the small 20amp fuse. I used a test light to check continuity. Forums sometimes help point in the right direction as well.

[@IAMJKLFORLIFE]

wheres the 20 amp fuse from?

[@suprachefgarage9845]

@@IAMJKLFORLIFE its from the panel beside those 3 relays. There should only be 1 fuse there. I can screenshot it a d sent it to you through instagram if you would like

Alright can someone tell me this. Thought my passenger side running lights on the front and back was bad so when I changed them I decided to do all of them. I put them in driver side works passenger side brake turn and front turn signal works but the marker lights still does not.
