I have no tail lights, no fog lights (the switch dont even light up), no marker lights, no cluster lights (although warning indicators work, just the backlighting dont)


seems like the common thing on all these wiring diagrams is the headlight switch. but the low beam headlights work.

where should i start?

i just bought the car, but it does have a aftermarket radio in it. but its a old crappy one so it may have been in there a while. but 1 thing i can tell you is the radio dont turn off unless i take the face off - even with the car off
