Headlights not working

My dome lights and trunk release werent working. I looked and the acc fuse wasnt there. I tried adding a fuse the interior lights came on and then went out. Now I have no headlights radio or gauge lights car starts fine. Im sure the fuse wasnt there bc of a short most likely im assuming the cig lighter. I checked the fuses and they don't look blown. any ideas would be appreciated thnx 89 iroc

Definitely look into the cig lighter wire it can bend and touch rhe ash tray if u have it in and that usually pops a fuse

Re: Headlights not working

took the lighter out disconnected the plug taped everything with electrical tape and stuck it back in. The car magically has lights radio etc...... I don't get it maybe the car is possessed. going to try putting a new fuse in the acc spot in the box and hope to get interior lights again with out shorting my car out
