89 Ranger Tail Light Question---911

[fishbowl72]

I had a friend try to install a CD player in my Ranger. Apparently he crossed something up and blew up the radio, popped the fuse. After replacing the fuse my tail lights and dash lights no longer work. I still have beake, headlamps, flashers, etc. What should I look at next?

Are you sure you got all of the blown fuses? I had that problem and replaced the 15amp fuse and all was good.

 

[fishbowl72]

yes, even went by the diagram of fusebox from autozone. Replaced headlamp switch too, no go.

Hmm... Did you check to see if the bulbs were blown at all? Since they are dual filament, it's possible.

 

[fishbowl72]

all bulbs are good... marker and dash (pulled cluster and tested all bulbs). Possible blown circuit?

Thanks to all who helped. I found a wire stripped in the dash AND a hidden inline tube type fuse behind the instrument cluster. This is an awesome site and I'll be in often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S. I even got the CD player to work. Amazing what happens when a person gets his hands a little dirty!
