Why do my tail lights and dashboard lights only go on when I brake?


Recommended Posts

I have Nissan 2000 model and I recently replaced one of the burned out tail lights. Then all of a sudden the interior dashboard lights, lighting on my shifter and brake lights do not light up unless I brake.

most likely you have a broken grund and your tails are grounding trough your illumination circuit, unplug your tail lights, and see if the dach lights still come on wiht th ebrake pedal, the chassis ground for the tails is under the floor above the gas tank IIRC, the stock ground wires also are all held together with simple crimp connectors anc corrosion could have comlletely deteriorated the connection, try isolatign the ground wires fomr the tails and routhgin them to a good ground
