PLZ HELP! Dash and tail lights out
Got in the truck this morning only to find out that my dash and tail lights are out. Reverse lights still work, though.
Anyone know where to start looking? I've had the truck for 16 years and have never towed a trailer until a few weeks ago (daughter + horse = trailer). When towing it I noticed that the blinker worked very slowly, so something's messed up there. Thanks very much

I would start with the fuses first.
Good luck, Jim |

Dash lights and taillights are generally on the same fuse circuit...

In case your fuse panel is not labled here is a pic of a panel that one of the members made and labeled.

Fellow had this problem the other day and his tag light wire was grounding out. Since you mentioned towing a trailer I would go over your trailer harness connection and ensure nothing is grounding or open.

They blinked slower because you added another bulb to circuit when you hooked up trailer. Get a blinker that is for hazzard lights and put in turn signal--should blink normal.
