Which side lights are we talking about? Turn signals, parking lights, running boards?

[nuttynik]

side lights and tail lights think you call them parking lights also same fuse for dash lights as there not workin now either

[astro355]

The fuse should be labeled park lps.

hi thats totally different to my fuse box i have smaller fuses in the middle and larger up the left hand side

[astro355]

You should have one labeled taillight or park.

Ok, hold on. I'll check my neighbors van.

In my neighbors 96 astro, in the fuse block under the hood there is a 40 amp fuse labeled "lighting".

Hey Nutty, Do you have an owners manual? If not goto the main page of this forum, download the 97 manual/or open it, to find your fuse location and other related info. Jim

Hey 355, This may be unrelated, but i just thought of it, so I gotta ask. All Data or Mitchell On Demand? Which do you prefer? Thanks, Jim

[astro355]

Mitchell on Demand. Since Autozone bought alldata, its gone downhill and there seems to be holes in the information that weren't there before.
