Eg coupe-Dash, fog lights, and tail lights out

[Dro503]

My dash and taillights went out. Is the dash the same as the taillight fuse?

Yes. 10A dash fuse 19.

I changed it but it still won't turn on.

Can you get a test light or multimeter?

 

[Dro503]

I got none, is there any other fuse that would interrupt or make it work?
If I could get my hands on one I jus stick it in were the fuse goes right?

These are extremely inexpensive but powerful tools that you need to solve this problem. For example, you can often buy an adequate digital multimeter for $3 from Harbor Freight Tools. You can buy a test light for less.

Well I got a tach wired to this fuse and it turns on but the dash and tails are out. I took the wire out and still nothing then put it back with the tach wire and only the tach works

 

[RonJ]

Shoddy wiring is clearly a possible cause, but I'm not going guess what might be wrong. I operate on test results that pinpoint problems. If you can't test, then you are left with random guessing, which can be time consuming and expensive.

Actually.....it might be the wiring??? I'll check. And my friend is bring me a tester what settings do I use

Disconnect your tach wire and bring the wiring back to stock. Then replace fuse 19 to see if your lights now work.

Brought everything back and nothing. Fog lights, tails and dash Arne working but the tach is???

 

[Dro503]

So My lights went out, from the dash and tails earlier today and I checked all the fuses but everything is good. I have a tach wrapped around the fuse for the dash and etc. and it turns on and everything but still no dash or tails. I unwired it and tried changing the fuse and still nothing. I haven't checked under the hood yet. It's jus wierd how the tach works but not the dash fogs or taillights...
I need help
