    1997 Nissan Sentra Tail lights
    My brake lights are working on my car, however the dashboard lights and the tail lights are not. I have changed the bulbs in the tail lights and had the fuses checked which are all good. What else could it be?

    The ignition switch/harness plugs into the main electrical harness and into the under-dash fuse box. Here's what's involved on a Honda:
