None of the tail lights/turn signals/brake lights work!!!
After driving to school this morning, my friend who was behind me the whole way says "Dude none of the lights on the back of your car work...."
Turns out my turn signals in back arent working, brake lights arent working, and tail lights arent working. Checked the fuses and they're all good. I havnt cut any wires since the last time they worked, all i've done was installed my z28 wing and new carb studs..... I'm no electrical guy (Yet....reading a few books hopefully to expand my knowledge), but for all the lights to suddenly stop working but still good fuses? wtf? I even tried using a multimeter to make sure that power was getting to the fuses, and there was certainly power getting there, so i dunno what to do! Thanks,

Well Chris,
Since you say that all your fuses are good and there is power going there. There is only one thing that all those lights have in common, that is the ground wire located under the center trim piece in the rear cargo compartment.
