i've looked at all the fuses and none are blown. i've got no tail lights either. brake light, head lights, interior light, turn signals... every thing works except the dash lights and the tail lights. what gives? i'm no electrician. please help.

My diagram says fuse 4 supplies power to the headlight switch, then splits... directly to the front parking and side-markers, through fuse 15 to the rear parking, side-marker and license lights.

Did you check the actual bulbs? Your rear bulbs have 2 filaments. The taillights use the "dim" one, the brakes/signals use the "bright" one. Does your high-mount brake light work?

Dash. Mostly controlled by fuse 13 and the dimmer, some bulbs also switched by the "cluster illumination relay". Do you have a digital clock? Does it work, but gets dimmer when you turn on the lights?

honestly, i didn't even think to check the bulbs. i thought "hmm, both are out, must be a fuse.". i'll check that when i get off work.
