In the 1996 Oldsmobile 88, the tail light and instrument panel fuses are located in the fuse box under the hood of the vehicle. Here are the steps to locate the fuse box and find the specific fuses:

Open the hood of your 1996 Oldsmobile 88 and secure it in place using the prop rod.

Locate the fuse box, which is typically located on the driver's side of the engine compartment. It is a black plastic box with a removable cover.

Remove the cover of the fuse box by lifting the tabs or using a screwdriver to loosen the screws, depending on the design of the fuse box cover.

Inside the fuse box cover, you will find a diagram that indicates the position and function of each fuse. Use the diagram to locate the tail light and instrument panel fuses.

Once you have identified the fuses, remove them by pulling them straight out. If the fuse is blown, the metal strip inside the fuse will be broken.

If you find a blown fuse, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. Make sure to use the correct amperage to avoid damaging the electrical system.

After replacing the fuse, reinsert it into the appropriate slot in the fuse box.

Replace the fuse box cover and ensure it is securely fastened.

It's important to note that the exact location of the tail light and instrument panel fuses may vary slightly depending on the specific model and trim level of your Oldsmobile 88. If you're having trouble locating the fuses or need further assistance, it is recommended to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or seek help from a qualified mechanic.
