no tail lights, or gauges

[Cubby's RX-1]

I have been on this forum for almost ten years. I have helped many TY members with thier sleds and what is wierd is now all of a sudden, I need help. I am not sure if I am getting old or just stupid but I could use a little help here.

2003 RX-1 that starts, runs and has a headlight. But no gauges (lights, tach,ect....) and no tail or brake light. I had this thing ripped apart all the way to the main bulk head. Everything seems to be plugged in and all the fuses I can see are good. Anyone????.........................Cubby

I had the same problem and it was a blown fuse because the plug for the taillight melted on the heat shield under the seat

It got too late last night for me to start probeing around with a test light. But tonight when I get home I will start checking all the fuses first with a test light. Thanks......................Cubby

If that is not issue there is an area where the harness runs under the hood directly behind the front bumper next to toolbox. One of the wires will rub against frame and short out. Had this problem with my daughters machine.

Thanks guys,

I found it last night. My dealer said that a blue wire with a red tracer powers up both the tail light and the gauges. I checked the fuse again last night with a test light and it was good. However this wire (blue w/red) was pulled out from the bottom of the fuse block and not making connection to one blade of the fuse. Simple fix and it is all good. Thanks again for all your help.................Cubby
