Help guys,
I got in my camaro tonight and pulled the **** out for the headlights and they didnt come on! I have no clue whats wrong, any help would be appreciated, thanks-jmb

 

Fuse?

 

First, I believe the headlights are on a circuit breaker.

Is anything else not working? Interior lights? Lighter? Horn? Radio? If all those things are out I'd suspect a fusible link is burnt out.

 

the interior lights are dead: dome, gauges. The blinkers and brake lights work fine, dont know about the horn

 

I know the lighter and dome are linked together, but I don't think the gauge lights are.... Doesn't sound like it's at the fuse box.

 

I'd put my money on a burnt out fusible link.

I'll describe the scenario going by my 86 IROC. On the "B" terminal of your starter, you have the positive battery cable, and three smaller wires. One wire has its own ring connector, the other 2 share one. The one by itself is the voltage sensing wire to the alternator. The two that share a ring, one of those supplies power for your lights and everything on the Accessory fuse. Get the picture? It's basically everything that should work with the ignition off. Except the hatch motor, that's on the other link.

Again, I described how my 86 IROC is wired. I forget if the v6 are different.

 

Could ask on Tech or Electrical forums, the wiring isn't specific to a v6.
