Whats up fellas, i have an issue with my 94' 1.8L Miata. A few nights ago I was driving and suddenly all of my dash lights and my tail lights went out as well as my reverse lights. Now the head lights work perfectly as do my break lights and front and rear blinkers. I checked and there are no blown fuses either. I am curious if anyone has any suggestions on what the problem might be, and if any one knows if the dash lights and tail lights are on the same circuit?? Absolutely any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks Nick

have you looked for any loose grounds? That might attribute to what you experienced.

You have a blown fuse...you just didn't find it (most likely). Check the "room" fuse again. Did you recently remove/replace the radio? Majority of such threads lead back to a wiring problem behind the radio after someone has added an aftermarket headunit.

+1 I had some wiring issues behind the radio that someone installed and it caused all sorts of weird **** to happen.
