1991 Camaro RS No Lights at ALL!!

Ok. Got a 91 camaro rs and my headlights, tail lights and dash lights do not turn on. I have checked fuses and Nothing at all. Should or could I wire it up with a switch? Just can't find the problem!

I think you're going to be looking for a burned fusable link.

True, it could be fusible link A.
To find out whether it is the culprit or whether it is the switch itself, you can very easily check the following:
- horn
- dome light
- cigarette lighter
- power mirrors
- hatch release

If any of these work, your fusible link should be fine and I would be looking into the headlight switch in the dash.

Let us know what you find.

*Update* The fuse link that goes to the starter was the issue. There are three ring terminals that are positive. Replace the fuse that has two wires going into the fuse link and wah-la. It's an Easy fix that doesn't take all day and if it did you will have lights at the end of the day. Thanks guys

Thanks for the follow up and good job on fixing it.
And btw, it is spelled "voila" and the V is pronounced.
