  • No dash or back running lights

    I been working on my festiva trying to get this one back to be my daily. I have a problem ever since I got it. It runs great. It has a BP swap. The dash lights and running lights don't work. I have check the fuses and changed the bulbs. Does anyone have an idea of what it may be?

    I'm not certain if the Festiva uses a relay for the taillights or not,but when I had that same problem with one of my Aspires it was the taillight relay was bad.

      I have read that it does have a relay. I'm not sure where it is. My other festiva I do see it. This one with the BP I can't find it.

        It's more then likely the relay. Its on the passenger side . The headlight relay is on the drivers side they will swap if you wanna check it that way.
        They should have a black rubber cover on them and mounted to the inner fender with a screw.

            Ok guys I found the relay and it was shot. I went to 3 parts storez with no luck finding the relay. Came home and took the one out of my other festiva and the lights work like a charm. So now I have order new relay online and I'm good to go. Thanks for the help.
