Tail/turn lights dead '86 std Cab
Ok so basically all of the sudden my marker lights, tail lights, brake lights, back up lights all stopped working at once. also my blinkers are weird they just buzz when i turn them on. and stay on they don,t blink just on like a marker light. and my fuel gauge stopped working all within 5 minutes. any ideas? its a 1986 toyota std cab
oh and i replaced all fuses that had to do with them.

We need more information... what model and year truck do you have... it sounds like you may have a short somewhere down by the main fuse panel or some water may have gotten in there... the buzz is the turn signal (... crud brain cramp...) "doohicky, thinga ma jig" LOL (it late and I'm tired OK?) it may need replacing that might solve the issue... it could also be a short in the wiring down by the tail light assembly... have you been doing any work down near there recently? If you have a truck water and road junk can get spat up there from the tires something may have gotten nicked...
I fixed your thread title for you... FYI the more specific you make the title the faster you will get an answer and the easier it will be for others to search if they have the same/similar questions/problems.

thtas a tuff one. I had a problem with a few of my light. I replaced bulbs and fuses, nothin worked. I desided to check to see if power was getting through whe wires so i uncliped the plug on the interior fuse box i looked at the plugs and they were all corroded and the terninals had broken on. ended up having to get a new fuse box. Bugger to change. I would probably check your wiring and make sure you have no shorts or burn broken wires.

Check the fuses and fuse block, ive had things on my 4Runner stop working and it was because the fuse was corroded in the fuse block.

Def. sounds like a short or a fuse issue... you may have knocked something loose with your foot getting in/out the fuse block is right behind the left kick panel... I've done this before in mine...
