****_____Lights Issue_____****

I have a issue with my lights on my dashboard,rear tail lamps and front side markers not coming on when turning the secondary switch on the light swith.

First, I search the forumn and investigated all the options. Second, I check the schematics and the only thing I came up with is the fuse box and the light switch.


I check the fuse and nothing changed. Switch out the light switch with another one(a used one) and nothing happened.

Can anyone tell me what the probelm might be? Any help,lead or suggestion will be appreciated.


P.s. The turn signals,Hazard and stop tail lamps work.

In the fuse box, replace your Stop Lamp fuse.

True, one cant trust the Nissan con-fuze tables.

Volvo has another rule on top (with the older type fuses): add contact grease in all.

actually mine comes from the fact that some fuses control things that don't make sense or aren't clearly listed.
my current 94 SE sport has a common issue in that the rear wiper motor is blown. that trips the airbag light, I had to unplug the rear wiper motor and replace the fuse for the airbag light to go off.
