my lights dont work there is no power to the red wire at the light switch no power to the constant wire of the stereo or dome lights, or power locks. i think its a fuse but i cant find it! so if some one can help me thanks. (85 firebird se)

 

check your fuse box under neath the dash kick panel on the driver side...

 

Sounds more like a fusible link off the starter. If you have no brake lights, dash lights, horn, and hazard flashers, it's almost certainly one of the fusible links. One supplies power to the items that work any time - regardless of key position; the other supplies those that require the key to be in either the ACC or ON position, like the turn signals, power windows, starter, ignition, etc.

 

the break lights are fine hazards are fine , its only head lights,parking lights dome lights door locks ,trunk release and hot power wire for the stereo.

 

I would check positive wire to the starter.

 

last night i checked the starter wire and it is ok . but then i played with the side post connector on the battary and lossend the bolt and the lights came on for a little bit. now did i reset the breaker by doing that or is there just a bad connection? but when the battary is connected every thing else works.

 

I think it probably has to do with that positive cable, in these cases it almost always does.
