I'm having the same problem on my 84, what was the problem with yours? I lost all exterior lights except turn signals and brake lights and lost my interior lights and radio. I tested the courtesy lights and came up with a short that I was assuming was a fusable link but I couldn't find the link. Where is the link located and did it fix your problem?

86 Camaro joe

yea i had a burned fuseable link under my car , my muffler burned it some how , so i replaced it and tied it down,

I found my problem last night, the wires had rubbed against the engine block where the oil pan is and it went through the insulation and burned the wire in half. So I just soldered another fusable link up there and wrapped all the wires in rubber appliance tape then went around that with electrical tape to make sure it won't rub through again.
