Unhappy Lights dont work

The instrument panel, tail lights,and side corner lights in the front do not light up even though i have turned the car on. Their are no fuses blown or can someone tell me what would be wrong. Thanks

It has to be a fuse or a short somewhere. But it is odd that the instrument panel and exterior lights are out at the same time. I don't think they share the same fuse, however i could be wrong. Do the headlights, brake and interior lights work? If all else fells, take it back to the dealer.

I agree, play it safe and take it to the dealer. Let them fix it.

hes not going to the dealer because supposedly he caused the problem, according to his previous post

hopefully, its a fuse. check them all. if its NOT a fuse, maybe you fried a circuit board or some of the wires melted....which means you wont be having a good week

your not supposed to use led light testors. a multimeter wouldnt have caused that problem

check the bulbs too

For your reference, when I first bought my Acura my D4 light was not working, so they had to replace the Printed Circuit Board and when they did that the digital odometer reset to 0 (was at around 4K-5K miles).

This could have been a freak thing, but hope you have 30K miles on your car that can be reset! LOL! Although it may look fishy for a 99 TL to only have 500 miles on it ;-) Good luck!

Good lesson learned... If you don't know what you're doing don't screw with the electrical system. Take it to the dealer, maybe they won't notice that you're the cause of the problem.
