Exclamation Headlights, taillights, radio, dome lights do not work.

Having a problem, just finishing up a single turbo project on my car and now my headlights, tails, dome lights, and radio are not working. I wired up my new gauges to the 12v switched circuit for the headlights and they aren't working either.

My windows work, sunroof works, HVAC works, fans work, ecu is powered and car starts.

What could I be missing here that would keep all of these things from working. I checked all fuses and they are fine.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

If you had the fuse block at the front unbolted like I did, more than likely the TNS Relay has died from water/rust. Swap it with the RETRACTOR relay and see what you get.

Have you checked your driver kick panel for blown fuses? When you say your headlights dont work, they dont do anything at all? Do they light up or are they just not going up and down?

Yeah checked all fuses and relays. They do nothing at all. No headlights at all. No radio, no dash background lights, ashtray light, etc.

Ahh Ceylon my FD3S Electrical friend

Wouldn't the 60a btn fuse cause the Indicators and Hazards to not work either if it was blown?
