No dash/tail/park lights - evo/gsr.

[Guest]

Not the best forum to ask but some smart cookies here.

Missus CD5A 1994 gsr has no tail/dash illumination/park bulbs. The headlight high icon/hazards/headlight high - low/reverse work. The cluster illumination just died a while ago while driving so picking the rest of the lights are on the same circuit and died at the same time for same reason.

Tried a spare cluster, both were working fine so its def a car issue and all bulbs are fine. Ive checked the fuse box and theyre also fine and correct. Ive checked the stop tail socket just no power on the tail but stop circuit is fine so must be on the positive side Im guessing.

Any ideas be greatly appreciated before spending monies with an auto elec.

Could possibly be the earth is not connected. I had this issue with a previous car same things not working wasn\'t a Mitsubishi tho but the earth had been disconnected when installing a head unit which stopped the things you described working

Stopped working while driving like somethings blown but what lol. Not dodgy head deck install etc.

I constantly had the same issue in my old GSR, was the accessory fuse in the engine bay fuse box. Double check it

Will do shortly. Was it a fusible link or blade fuse? Ive downloaded what I think is a diagram of the engine box as its import but need to mish out to the garage to check. Havent been too stressed as it never gets driven but need to pull wrx off the road so it needs to be going so we have a wag lol.

Just sounds like park light fuse? Replace it and see if it blows again, if it blows - you have an issue. If it doesn\'t - enjoy your now working park lights

Yeah I can\'t help at all but the interior illum circuit and tail lights are joined on mitsis

I have been informed a few times "oi you have no tail lights" after managing to blow fuses with dodgy boost gauge light wiring etc shorting together

[Guest]

Its not a fuse in either box. I have another theory will try it and report back. Not allowed to play with this car so cant be blamed for anything halfarse this time.

Do these have a park light relay?

Was a blade fuse

Has a 0.3A drain on the central locking/radio circuit different circuit to dash bulbs. Looks like thats why its bloody hard to start sometimes. Batteries on calcium charger see what happens. Changed battery out and has all lights working that werent... Could be intermittent or voltage related - we shall see.
