And God said, let there be light.
So, I finally got my '86 running. But, now we've figured out that when I turn on the headlights. Neither the tail lights or the dash lights turn on. The brake lights work though... Does anyone know what to do? I looked at my fuse box, but don't know which one to check out. Any insight would be lovely. Thanks again, Kukiri.

Regardless, he didn't say anything about the radio and 99% of the time, it is not a the fuse blown... it is a headlight switch or headlight switch harness that has melted.
Now I suppose if you **** up the installation of a radio, and use the Red/black at the back of the radio for the ground (and still failed to read the FAQ for FC and radio wiring) then you might blow the fuse...Of course the radio would still work... just the parking lights and dash lights wouldn't... so other than for the radio lumination they really are not tied together.
But then that would be the idiot installing the radio...someone that probably should not be installing the radio anyway if they hooked up that lame without checking wires or wiring diagrams.
But again, he did not mention that there was a problem with the radio... Instead he said no dash or parking lights. And two seconds of checking a fuse would tell him that a blown fuse again, is probably not the problem.

that's the thing he hasn't even checked a fuse yet. i admit i was wrong about the radio i checked the diagram. i was only saying it was a possibility. he said he wanted an insight. besides there is a 15A fuse feeding the headlight switch that powers up the marker and taillights and glove box and storage bin lights. nobody knows anyway we don't have the car in front of us. that's why i originally said if not the fuse, the harness or switch. start with the simplest first.
