Ok, my '91 camaro seems to have a running electrical problem. The interior button to unlock the hatchback doesnt work at all, the cigarette lighter doesn't work, the dome light doesn't work(i've tried changing the bulb, but it didnt do anything), and lastly the third brake light doesn't work(also after changing the bulb). Now since most of these run along the roof of the car i figured it was something with the wiring, but i really dont know. If anyone knows anything, or has any ideas as how to fix it without taking it to an electrician please let me know. Oh yeah, as far as i can tell everything else electrical in the car works fine (AC, radio, etc...). Thanks.

 

You didn't mention if you checked your fuses;
I think most of the constant accessory stuff works off from one circuit. Try the fuse that may say "Ctsy-Wdo", it's a 20 amp. If it's not blown make sure it's making contact with the clips. Or if you're not sure of the fuse, just pull 'em all and inspect them.

Thanks. Do you, or does anyone, know if the horn not working might some how be related to this problem? I know this car has been in an accident before, as far as how serious i dont know, but i believe the air bag has been deployed and put back in pretty poorly. Mechanics i've taken it to believe this may be related to the problem and that fixing it may require going into the steering column. Any ideas or suggestions for this would be really appreciated. Thanks
