I was wondering if anyone has encounered the same prob that i have.  My tail lights don't work.  Also, none of my side markers work.  And, one more thing, my lights inside where the rpm, and speedomoter are, doesn't light up either.  Once, i tried putting in a new fuse for the tail lights but it blew right away.  Is there anyway i can fix this or do i have to go to an electrician?

have you done any rewiring or thought you "fixed" something or messed with wired because it sounds like thers a wiring problem. if you have like sick amounts of free time trace all the wires starting around the lights and make sure there all insulated and secure.

i havent done anything to the car.  I just got it like 3 weeks ago.  None of the lights that i described ever worked.  So, in answer to ur question, it is not aftermarket sidemarkers.  Everything stock.

gotta be wiring, unless you're good you may want to have a mechanic check it out. Prolly a short circuit somewhere. Easy enough to fix, but you gotta locate the problem first <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Not sure about on the 240's but on my mom's Audi, she had the same problem and it was because one of the lighbulbs wasnt right, the contacts for the bright and dim light for turning and braking were bad. Make sure all the bulbs are in tight, that they arent burned out, and that they are the right models.

Well, here's a suggestion I wouldn't recommend, There's something called a smoke test. You just put something between the where the fuse connects' like a copper wire, something that won't burn, and watch for smoke, and there's your problem. I wouldn't recommend that, so just check all your connections and make sure they are all in there right.

yeah it might just become the fire test and then youll be looking for the flames and then replacing stuff if you do take a video and post it so we can see you run circles around the car looking for smoke <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
on second thought dont ruin you car. Dont use the smoke test (althought it would be funny)
