Have you checked the drl relay?
Assuming you have already checked the bulbs and sockets, next check the fuse, then check the brake light switch, then check the signal switch.
check that you have double filament bulbs in tail lights
The brake lights in your 1983 Nissan pickup truck are controlled by the brake light relay switch. When the brake light relay switch malfunctions the brake lights will stop working.
check all of the fuses.if they are ok, check the bulbs. If ok, have the headlight switch checked out. My dad has a 95 contour that had the same problem the tail lights and interior lights went out. There was some switch( I believe under the dash) that controled it, that had to be replaced by ford. I found this question actually looking for it because I had the same problem with my 93 Ford Probe. I tried everything. Changed fuses in car, checked bulbs, checked wiring, changed the brake light switch. Nothing worked. Finally figured out it was VERY simple problem!!! It was a fuse under the hood. There's a fuse box under there that I didn't even know of for a while. When I changed it I didn't even know if that was it and IT WAS. Now my dashlights and tail lights work. GOOD LUCK!!
The ABS and Brake lights stay on when the Abs computer has detected a malfunction and set a trouble code. You need to have the system checked for codes
multi function switch
If you have flickering lights and smell wires burning in your Dodge Caravan, you need to get that checked out by a professional. This actually happened to me once too and my van started on fire, it was horrible.
The ignition switch on a 1995 Mazda pickup is changed by partially removing the steering column to reveal the switch on the side of the column. It can then be unbolted from its mounts, the wires disconnected, and a new switch put in place.
possible turn signal switch failure common on gm cars
Bad bulbs or brake light switch.
look at the ground wire it should be black Also check the fuse Have your neutral safety switch checked. If you don't have any bad fuses and you've changed the bulbs, most likely it's your neutral safety switch. It's located on your transmission.
