check all the fuses under the dash, even under the hood. did u just put a radio in it... i had problems with previous owners hacking up the stock radio harness it would mess with the dash lights and clock and other things....

How you doin Orange_kouki? Is your dash and tailights working now? Coz I just have the same problem like yours. Spend the whole day checking all the fuse boxes under the hood and the one by the clutch pedal. Lemme me know brow I have school on Tuesday night. Thanks!

on my 94 pathfinder...what caused mine to do this was the light switchon the steering column. i fixed it by checking the contact inside the switch which is easy. either clean or bend the contact a little to make sure there is contact when you turn your lights on. anyway.....i think the dash and tail lights go thru that switch and its a place to look for where the problem might be.

i did that but i found the problem thanks for helping me out anyways. my wires were touching thus feeding my fuses too much power and causing it to blow.
