Challenger running lights don't work - 01/13/09 02:37 AM
Putting back together T/A Challenger, all new harnesses, restored lamps. I have no instrument lights, park,sidemarkers, taillamps, license lamps-nothing. Headlights work, both hi/lo beams. Brake lamps work, turn signals work, backup lamp works. I'm thinking the switch or dimmer for instrument lights is bad? Who makes new e body switches?? Any rebuilders? Thanks

Have you tested the fuse?

Fuses all new, good. Do all the running lamps go through the same fuse??

you might pull the connector off of the headlight switch & jump 12V to the park/tail lights etc. I'd be a place to start to pin it down.

Yes, new doesn't mean good, I've seen fuses that visually look fine have a failure in the area hidden by the endcap....It's possible you have a minor short that will pops the fuse so just replacing it isn't the best option, instead teast it with a test light...Ground the clip & probe either end of the fuse, it should light at either end, if it light at one but not the other you have a bad fuse...
