i don't know exactly what is wrong but i'm pretty sure my electrical system in my car is faulty as hell. i don't know much about electrical systems or fuses or that kind of thing so i can't troubleshoot too well, but i think it may have something to do with fuses because i know my battery is fine. first, the power door locks didn't work. then the backlight in the dash behind the heater console went out. the backlight behind the main cluster is still on and so is the one on the shifter console. my reverse lights both went out simultaneously, and then my left license plate light went out as well as my right brake light. after this, three of my four front headlights went out all within a few days of each other. my only working lights right now are my far left headlight, and both turn signals. i know it would have to be a really big f***in coincidince that all of these light bulbs magically went out together. keep in mind i've only had this car for two months. so its not like "they're just old" they wouldn't have all gone out around the same time, no i think it has more to do with the fuses than the actual lights. i'm not really sure what to do though, so any advice would really help me out if you guys have seen this before or know what i'm talking about. this is BS and is realllllly starting to bug me. thanks

 

That issue is not in the fusebox - it's a dead bulb. The back-lights and shifter light are on the same circuit as the heater light.

If one headlight works - the other one should too ( with regard to the fuse ) Open the hood and clean the terminals on each headlight and high beams as well as cleaning each plug. I'll bet that most if not all lights will work once the terminals are cleaned.

Maybe this car sat for a long period of time unused. Now that it is getting driven everyday it's very possible that the bulbs are getting blown out or a bad connection due to the car getting jarred over bumps and pot-holes. It's happened to many of the cars I've restored... although not as many bulbs as you have described ! Check/clean the connections and try swapping bulbs first. Check for voltage while your at it & probe each light sockets power and ground to be sure they are getting power.

 

thanks for the info i'll clean the terminals when i get a chance
