No dash lights or tail lights

Hi guys
LASt night driving I flicked my lights on
And had no dash lights or Parker's or Taillights
Headlamps and fog lamps work
But nothing else
I had working indicators aswell?

I'm thinking a fuse I checked kick panel one is blown
Checked another but after taking the radio one out and putting it back
I now have no clock or radio?

It was all working fine
Is there a common cause for this?

My Taillights work when I use the brakes just not when the Parker's are on?

    I'm slightly confused by your post. Its a bit hard to understand.
     
    So the indicators/parkers/dash lights don't work but you found a blown fuse in the kick panel fuse box?
    • Did you try replacing the fuse?
    • What is that fuse for? (should be written on the lid)
    You removed a fuse for the radio/clock and then put it back in. Now the radio and clock don't work.
    • Is the fuse seated correctly? (sometimes can go in crooked) 
    • Is the fuse blown? (after being put back in)

    Ok,
    brought new fuses, replaced all in kick panel with correct ones,
    all ok now,
    however i flicked on the lights heard it blow again, put in another 15A blew again.
    put in a 20 and a 30A both blew.

    so thinking now its a rellay issue?
    its the TAIL fuse that keeps blowing..
    so perhaps the TAIL LIGHT relay?

    Bit more specific would help in regards to which wires?
    was working fine for the last 2 years so no idea where to start looking.
    Seems to be a common thing for this relay to go doing some internet research. But i have not done any tests to confirm.
