Q: Lights connected to the same fuse don't work
My car has several lights on it that are supposed to work simultaneously but don't. Tail lights are the main ones. It is strange as all are connected to the same fuse, including dash lights, glove box light and licence plate light. I have recently replaced the signal lever and the fuse is working fine. Do you have any idea what the issue is?
