FD Lighting Issue

Hello, I have a 94 FD. Before I went to a local body shop to get the car painted when I turn the lights on, only my head lights turn on. My cluster lights dont turn on neither does my tail lights. I am not a electrical guy so can anyone explain why would this happen,where can I look for the problem. Other FD owners said to check relays im gonna do that as soon as my car is done at the body shop.

(this was an answer i found to check the switch) There could be a problem w/the harness and not necessarily the switch. Does the fuse in question blow after the switch is turned to the first position? You might want to depin the Red/Black wire that supplies voltage to the tail lights and the Red/Green wire that supplies power to the dash lights and so on. Then turn the switch on and see if it blows. If it does then the fault lies within the switch or the White/Green wire which supplies voltage to the switch from the Illumination fuse. If on the otherhand the fuse does not blow then the problem lies within the R/B wire and or the R/G wire. Then repin one of these two wires and see if the fuse holds or not w/the switch turned on. If it does not then you isolated the problem to the wire which has not yet been repinned. mines a 89 so im not sure if the wire colors ar the same
