Tail lights and cluster light wont come on?
Please forgive my ignorance. Okay now I have power running through all the wires and fuses except 7 keeps blowing so no power to orange wire. I got the two outside tail lights(blinkers and brakes) working but not the the two inside tail lights(just replaced bulbs and old ones were kinda rusted and tough to get out) or dash dash lights. Really appreciate the help guys this is my first time really working on a car and trying to figure it out as I go.
What do you mean "inside and outside" tail? Isn't one of the reverse lamps?
OK, now that fuse 7 blows, you need to "one by one" check dimmer controlled dash lamps. This depends a little on options. Theres a lamp in the radio, heater bezel, shifter quadrant, and so on, in addition to the dash cluster. If you can get your hand "up there" you can remove the cluster connector for the PC board in the cluster, but be careful as they are delicate
This is one place where the "new improved" wiring diagrams make things a bit more difficult. Look on page 8-163, at the very bottom. You'll see a group of lamps there, fed by wire no E2-18O (no 18 Orange). This is the "end of the line" for the dash lamps, and you can see there some of it. Follow that orange wire back through the pages and you'll see it comes back to page 8-157, where it comes off your fuse cavity 7 You'll see it branches off there and feeds up to the cluster PC board That is connector CI-14
Replace the use with a test lamp, that is, pull the no7 fuse and clip a lamp socket across the fuse terminals with a dash lamp in the socket. This will protect the circuit against shorting, and you should be able to tell when you've found the shorting socket.
The wire coming into the left to the fuse below is your TAN wire, through the fuse, and out to all the lights on ORANGE
