Pictured is the relay board in the engine compartment on the drivers side. The pencil is pointing to a blue 25a fuse. That location is towards the back of the vehicle. The open slot next to it has no fuse. What does that operate and what amp fuse belongs there? I dont want to throw a 25a in if that is wrong. HELP,HELP,HELP!!

Also, I am having problems with the drivers side running lights, front and rear are not operational and there is a huge voltage drop when I apply the breaks; goes from 13 to 10. Same thing applies when I turn on the lights. Break lights work and turn indicators work. Im thinking this is all related...Any ideas??

Measure the voltage at the battery, not the "eye candy" voltmeter.

Thanks Krust. Checked the voltage at the battery as you suggested, and it was at 13.8v. Even with the lights on and brakes applied, never changed. Good advice and thank you.

Now, whats up with the gauge? Replace it? Or is there an issue that it sees somewhere down the electrical line that may be a problem?
