  • AHh a lilttle help? fuse or somehting else?

    OK i have a 91 festiva L,

    last night when i was ddriving my tailight(when you apply presure it doesnt brighten up), dashlights (like checkengine, oil, seatbelts) turn signalls, and hazards alll went out.

    i checked the fuses hazards was burned but i replaced it and they still dotn work.

    no other fuses were blown. any ideah?


    thank you.



    ok update, i went back out and cehcked alll the fuses turned out "meter" fuse was blown. replaced it my dash came back to life.

    the "stop" fuse is blows and when i goto change it and apply pressure on my brake it blows.


    hazards and turn signals still dotn work.

    Sounds like you have a short in your brake light system.
    Look for any exposed wires around the brake light switch on the brake pedal that might be shorting out. Then check around the bulbs in the back. Also where the 3rd brake light wire runs from the body to the lift gate.
