  • no marker and break lights

    I don't have marker and break lights in dad's festiva... where do you check first after checking the riunning light fuse as replacing the fuse makes it go out with a loud flash and bang

    also the main fuse link under the hood seems to be fried in the middle

    It could be the relay. When I had this issue, not long ago, my problem was a wire going to the relay. Its located in the front passenger side of the engine bay. I had to remove the airbox to get to it. Might be worth a check.

    Do your dash lights work? Because the relay affects that as well.
