Hi Everyone,

Im new to this forum. yesterday i got a '91 tr sedan(exec). on the way home from getting it the headlights stopped working. I frantically changed the round things in the fuse box under the bonnet. that fixed that somehow. I was putting new speakers tonight in the dash (i didnt dismantle the dash) and now i have no dash/console lights and no parkers front or back. reverse, indicator, and stop lights still work along with the low and high beam. can someone please point me in the right direction... Thanks
Chris

Welcome.
What did you remove to put the speakers in? What did you disconnect/re-connect?

Check your parker/tail light fuse in the interior fuse box drivers side, right hand side of the steering column under dash near bonnet release cable. Maybe irrelevant but most drama's I have had have involved a stereo being fitted with butchered wiring or if you have a towbar the wiring for the trailer. Hope this helps.

Dash lights and rear parker lights are on the same fuse. Over loading dash(ie aftermarket Head unit) will blow that fuse. Alot of people wire aftermarket headunits into factory earth. That usually case overload. Aftermarket headunits should get there own new earth..:) Check the fuse as stated. It will be blown.
