!!!!emergency, Need Help!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I HAD A PAINT SHOP CHANGE MY FRONT BUMPER AND REPAINT MY CAR, WHEN I GET IT BACK , I GO TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS AFTER I HAVE IT HOM AND EVERYTHING, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING GOES DEAD, INTERIOR, DASH, HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS, BUT THE CAR WILL STILL START AND RUN. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT CONTROLS ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN A 86 IROCZ. I ALREADY HAVE CHECKED THE UNDERDASH FUSES AND THEY ARE PERFECT, IS THERE SOMETHING IA M MISSING? IT THANKS GIVING AND EVERYONE IS CLOSED. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

Check all the grounds up around where they painted and did the body work.

well it doesnt show anything when i turn the car on, i am gonna go throught the grounds today but after thinking about it when i went to pull the light switch the lights came on for a second and then shut off, that is why i thought it was a fuse, is it possible that the light switch could have gone out, does it control enough to even make the interior lights go out with the dimmer part of it? i was thinking that could be a possibility, does anyone know the body wiring good enough to say if it could just be the 20 year old switch went out?

update! i went out side today and tried everything and all the lights worked like a charm except the foglights are not working. they worked before these dumb-dumbs touched it but anyway, so it is somewhere in the foglight wiring from what i guess , so ill be checking all of that today plus going back over my front end grounds

The blue wire on the drivers side of the car by the strut that runs to the relay by the hood hinges check that wiggle the wires and that black connetion on the blue wire makes my fog lights work every time on my 90
