Exclamation HELP!! lights aren't workin

So, i tried searching and no real problem was discovered with this, but i noticed last night while driving on i-10 that my dash lights weren't working, so we looked at all the fuses and everything seemed okay, and so when i was out driving tonight, someone stopped me and told me that my tail lights aren't working, i have tried everything i can think of. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?! please let me know!!!

Did you check both fuse boxes? One is in the engine compartment on the driver's side, the other is in the center console on the passenger's side?

Sound like your light sensor on the dash isnt working.The fuse for the taillight has nothing to do with the dash lights.
This controls your tail lights and dash lights.(when lights are on Auto)

Try manually turning on your lights .Do your tail lights come on now?????
If so it is he sensor.

It DOES as a matter of fact. The cluster light circuit is fed from AFTER the park lamp fuse, this is done so that if the park lamp fuse blows your cluster goes out too. You can't see the back of your car from inside but you can see the cluster, this lets you know there is a problem before someone runs you over in the dark.

Fuse is labeled PRK LMPS, under hood fuse box. 15 amp iirc.

Thanks for the correction,Looked at the prints a few times and never realized the cluster lights are feed from that fuse through the BCM.
