ok here is the damn problem. its been about a week now since my car has been acting up. everytime i drive me car at night the tail lights go out because the damn fuse pops i dont know what the problem is i changed the tcu or tcm whatever its called changed the back of the gauge cluster plastic thing. changed the damn tail lights. i dont know what the damn problem is i honestly dont wanna check all the wiring in the car its so time consuming and i have to go to school. so i dont have time. the first time i thought i fixed it was when i traced the problem to the gauge cluster then i fixed that worked for awhile then changed my tail lights then that worked for a while but now i honestly dont know the problem ima try the side markers. but other than that i dont know what it could be pleas somone help me i love my car and dont want to have to sell it

have you checked the actual sockets for the bulbs? Clean out any junk that might be in them and causing some weird stuff to happen. Other thing to check is definitely look at the instrument cluster again. If you didn't replace the part, it may have come back and might be a loose connection somewhere. If those fail, then yeah sorry to say you've proably got a short somewhere in the harness.

Checking your harness will take less time then replacing the instrument cluster. It runs along you kick panels and under your rear seat. The rest of the harness is exposed for easy visual. Both the kick panel and the rear seat just pop out. Do as he suggested with the sockets first. Also take a look at your front marker lights They too can cause this problem as they are on the same circuit.

thanks for all the suggestions ill check them out tomarrow to see if it worked who knows but thankyou all

Sorry and your front parking lights [turnsignals] as well as the side rear marker lights. I kinda missed the rest of the lights on the circuit when I mentioned marker lights. I meant all lights that normally light up when you turn the parking lights on.

obviously, marlon. its a short

there seems to be wires intertwining with each other where your light switch and tails switch is located. i really can't help without spending a day on it. if you can find a voltmeter, try to poke around and see where you are getting voltage.

here. if you need to get to school, you cant give UP! and selling your car wont help.

ive enclosed a diagram from my alldata. it has crappy resolution but thats the best and most user-friendly size i could get. hope this helps you.

i still say, trace the wires from the switch. figure out which color wires the tail lights and switch have, and try to see where they are touching. lets hope your harness isnt as rotten as mine.

if all else fails....pay David....haha.

This is for the entire electrical system in your car.

This is for the tail lights only.

GOOD LUCK!
