No running lights 93 pickup

decepticon · 08-12-2007, 11:47 AM

title says it all. I have a 93 22r-e with not running lights. I do however have headlights, brakes, turns and hazzards. If you turn the switch to park, you can hear the relay click. But nothing. Not even instrument guages lighting. Ive checked the fuse for tails and it is good. Even swapped it for a know good fuse. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Have you checked for power at each bulb?

Yes, see if there is any power at the bulbs. Might be the tail light relay is not working right. It may be the clicking noise you hear, meaning the relay coil is still energizing, but the contacts may be pitted or dirty and not actually making electrical contact. Do any of the dash lights work? And have you done any electircal work on the truck recently, for example installing a radio or CD player or even a trailer wiring harness?

ive got nothing. no power at the bulbs, nothing at the dash. And no i have not done any electrical work recently. But i have installed a radio years ago. Is the gauges powered by the same relay as the running lights or is it on a seperate circuit?

Typically the same relay powers the dash and parking lights.
