I have looked in the "on-line" FSM & searched I dont know how many forums. I need to find out the arrangement of the tail light layout on the coupe. Reason I ask is because I do not have tail lights w/head lights on. I have brake lights, hazard lights, turn signals. But no tails. All fuses & relays are fine, as are grounds. ALSO, the side marker lights ARE NOT hooked up. But that should not matter. Just trying to add as much info about the problem as I can.

As for the dash. I did some searching & found out that the dimmer switch(or the TCU) could be the culprit. But I will ask anyway as there are a few problems. OK, the dash has Indeglo<sp? White faces gauges hooked up with power through the DIMMER switch. The HUD is also inop. The gauges lit up BEFORE I took out the cluster to check the HUD. I installed everything back. Everything went fine EXCEPT the dimmer switch cover popped off. Viola..no dash lights. The sunroof, windows, locks, gauge lights, vanity lights(door lights) all work, just no dash. Ofcouse the speedo, trip & HUD still do not work, but they havent in years.

Any insight besides what I am sure is two different issues. I am probably just going to run a wire from the light relay to the rear tails to get them to work. but I gotta find out which lights are which first.
