headlights nor interior lights work, no blown fuse.
 
I just finish working my ass of on my car, i go to test drive it and i have no headlights, just running lights and taillights, they won't pop-up nor turn on. My interior lights didn't work before this happened.

I checked the fuses, there are no blown fuses under my dash. I looked for fuses under my hood and see none. What's up?

Fusible link - driver's side strut tower (in the front). Look for the one marked "HEADLIGHTS" (that's probably it!)

This happens when the fusible link blows. As a short term fix, strip away the cloth insulator and twist the two ends together. Then get yourself to a parts shop and look for Fusible Link materials in about 35amp size.

May the Force be with you (love that sig line!),

I checked for fuseable links, my SE had them, but this car doesn't seem to...

Because '95 Civics have pop-ups. ;)

Okay, i traced the headlights back to the fuseable links, the links were different from my SE and rigged with wiring so i didnt' recognize them until i traced to them. I jiggled the wire and when it fell out, i realized what was going on, i pulled the links from my SE and the headlights are working fine, my interior dash lights however aren't.

see if your parking lights are working. I had this same problem and it happened to be a fuse. May not be the same situation but worth a shot.

Parking lights are working fine, clock light turns on as well (obviously ran from a different circuit), my ash try, climate control and dash lights however don't.
