Do all the lights in the front work?

ok, yea all the lights up front work.....

there is a brown wire on the left side of the fuse block that is the wire for the lites. I think it's the 3rd wire up from the bottom Check that with a test lite and if it works then check the junction on the left side of the trunk to see if you still have power. GM used junk aluminum wire to go to the back so it could be broken or corroded

damn well i dont have a test light, i hope its just a fuse cause they was workin before i got this engine work done

Guess someone got scissor happy, not sure why the brown wire was cut? Anyways problem solved....... Thanks fa the info

 

[Rasheerh]

Im back

 

[pontiacgp]

that's good to hear. It could be at some point someone spliced into the wire for the rear lites some reason but the aluminium wire is terrible to work with and will break most of the time
