Undo panel under steering column and all the relevant fuses are there Depends which side of vehicle the lights are not working in some cases as to which fuse you need to replace as they can be for L or R side Use little black tool in the fuse panel to help remove fuses

Nope. Not there. Where else would it be? There was nothing listed for the tail lights or dash lights there.
Unless the British have some other word for these areas (Like bonnet for hood or something like that)

My manual says something about a fascia. What is that?

I was changing the plug for my headlight switch, and one of the wires touched metal. It sparked and blew a fuse. I just don't know which one.
The plug was already burned out for the instrument panel/tail lights...now my fogs don't work either.

I looked in there. All the fuses seem good.
Yesterday I took out and checked every fuse I could find, and none were blown. I checked the one under the steering wheel, and the passenger's side engine compartment. Is there another fuse bank I don't know about?
I took off the kick panels on both sides and looked in there. Changed the relay for the front fogs. Still no parking, dash, tail, or front fogs. Any other ideas?
I wish I knew how to read these stupid wiring diagrams!

Greg they are all related. When my dash lights go out so do my tail lights. My fogs never realy worked after I had the trailer harness put on. I do not know of any other fuses. You may have a wire grounding. Sorry Im not more help

Ok...I think I have it semi-figured out. The switch was bad, but only the wire supplying power to the dash lights (which also powers the parking lights)
When I was changing the connector to the switch, I accidentally arced the wire and blew a fuse somewhere. Now I don't know where.

Does anybody know which fuse powers this wire? I have looked all over and can't find it. There is nothing listed for dash lights in the owners manual.
I used the workshop manual and traced the wiring diagram back to where all of the lights are connected, but I can't seem to find a fuse there.
Thanks

If anyone has a workshop manual, what I found is in the "Fuse Details" section. Circut diagram page 19 where it says "C208" and has a 14 by it.
Everything below this is out. Everything above it is working. (as far as I can tell)

What powers this? Where is the fuse for it?
