no guage, interior lights, horn or radio, cig lighter
1985 Sport coup Camaro. Carb. Fuse box does not have 2 silver 35 amp fuses, but only one silver 30 amp fuse. Base model car. Can't seem to find problem with why I am getting no lights, power inside anywhere. I get all outside lights working. Even my rear window defogger won't turn on. You can hold the switch, see power, but power does not remain on. Have checked fuses, replaced a 5 amp and a 20 amp fuse. Still nothing. Also replaced the light switch that puts on your out side lights and dims the gauges, even though the other one was brand new. I have removed and looked at all wires inside...nothing seems wrong. I also do NOT have the brain box in mine on the driver side of the car. Only a silver box on RH side of the steering wheel where you find the flasher. Flasher is working fine. Any help please??? I drive my car everyday, and keep it clean and in mint condition. I just got into the car and noticed radio was not working. It is an after market, but PRO installed, and been working just perfect for a few years now, so I know that was OK> I also took the cig lighter apart from the socket and plug...to see if that effected anything. Nope. Still no power. Anyway, any help would be GREAT! I live in a smaller town in Canada, and no one here seems to be able to do anything but rip my car apart and charge over a grand just to look at wires.!! Like whaaat?? I can't afford to have them do that. I have extra pod gauges, one oil and one for temp, but they are working fine. I do a lot of work myself when I can. I am buying one of those power light checkers, but really don't know what to do with that. I am a motor and carb person!LOL I know every nut, bolt and lifter in my car. Can rear lights effect anything? Thank you guys! Cheers, Camaro lover, Vicki.

Power distribution schematics can be found here

Power runs from the starter through c100 the connector on the bulk head next to the master cylinder.
