I know this is probably the wrong forum to put this in but i will ive it a shot. I have a 99 T/A and my dash lights don't work. i checked all the fuses and the only ones that blow are the tailight fuse and the dimmer fuse. If I put a new dimmer fuse in the tailight fuse blowns and visa versa. Does anybody else have this problem? Let me know. Thanks

Sounds as if you have a short somewhere. Start with the battery and make sure both terminals are snug.

It could be anything. A bad wire or poor ground somewhere else. I'd suggest taking it to your local dealer when you have the means and opportunity to do so.

Or save the money and at least try to chase the electrical gremlins yourself so you don't get charged out the *** by the dealer.

Sometimes paying the dealer prices are worth your own sanity.
