Well what do I check next? None of the interior courtesy lights work on the inside of my car. All the dash lights work but no dome or any other light, etc. The trunk release button does not work either; however, the fuel door release right next to it does work. Go figure. I've checked all the fuses inside the car none are blown. Any ideas??

Thanx in advance

You did not state if these items were working before the problem. Have you checked the individual lights to see if they are burned out?

I believe the latch releases, trunk and gas, are mechanical.

Nope, they involve relays.

Study the FSM wiring diagram, then check fuses and connections and trace if required.

There's a button in the glovebox that disables the trunk release. Check that.

Seems odd that all the lights stopped working at once, or did they? I ready you bought the car used. Recently? Have they ever worked? It could be they're all just blown.

Some guys here might flame you a little, but don't worry about it. If you're serious about getting your Q up to NICO standards, they'll come around. Keep asking your questions.

Thanks everyone. I'll go with the relays and wiring diagrams to see what I discover. The lights and trunk releasewere not working when I bought the car figured it was just a fuse but it wasn't. Checked the glove box switch didn't do it.

Thanks again
