Good morning. Need some help with this one . I have a 1994 Peterbilt 378 dump truck . I noticed my tail lights, dash lights and clearance lights not working . My head lights, signal as brake lights work . Checked the small 15 am fuse for the dash lights looks good. Anything else I can check ? Thank you
Tail lights, dash, and clearance lights out ??

Find the relay in the panel and swap it for a different one. When they get old they get hot faster. Will it might work at first it doesn't take long to go out. Had a kw that did the same thing one night. Figured out if I dimmed the dash down it was enough to keep going.
Nestor and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
If all 3 are dead and your marker, tail and dash fuses are all good and the relay is good I would check the toggle switch for power & continuity next; if that checks out you are hunting for a broken wire. If it was a short the fuse/fuses would have blown.

If the fuses are good Its probably the marker relay. Dash lights are fed from the marker circuit 8.
Nestor Thanks this. -
I had all 3 issues on my 94. Switch the relays, toggle switches, and there a circuit breaker at the bottom on the fuse box, there white little buttons. My issues where all different times. But I bet it’s the relay.
Nestor Thanks this. -
Thanks guys ! It was circuit breaker . Button looking fuse popped out pushed it back in and all good!!@
