Default tail lights not comming on

I have an 02 C5 and just recently at night when I turn my head lights on my dash does not light up nor do my tail lights. Its weird because my head lights work fine, I think it might be a bad relay, is there any way to tell for sure? This does not happen everytime I turn my head lights on but I would say it happens 80% of the time and then 20% of the time it works fine.


Thanks!

Luke B

I would first check the output of your headlight switch, since the dash lights and taillights are on seperate circuits from the headlights. [8D]

Thanks but that might as well be a different language lol. Guess Ill have to take it to the dealer. Also would it makes sense that my turn signals work fine and so do my hazards?

Incase anyone was having the same problem I was it was the whole light switch that had to be replaced. Nothing to do with fuses or wires.
