VA New to Rx7 couple electrical probs

Okay so i went through the whole FAQ for my second gen but couldnt find anything about a couple things that are wrong with my car that i just bought.

1. The high beams do not seem to be working, the lights dont get brighter nor does any light light up in the dash i know im turning them on the right way but nothing i working.

2. The fog lights dont work, i dont know if there is something special to turning them on but i flip the switch and they just dont turn on.

3. the air bag light is blinking everytime i turn on my car until i turn it off then it starts blinking again once i turn it back on it never goes off while the car is on.

let me know what ya'll think, thanks

my high beams do not work either. i cant even find a place to cut them on.
the fog lights might be the switch. I took apart the switch box and there was a bunch of junk gunking up the contacts. i Cleaned mine and they started working. My airbag light also blinks, but someone had blocked it off with e-tape behind the dummy light panel

Well the high beams are supposed to be cut on by pulling the blinker control towards you but when i do that nothing seems to happen i dont know what it could be.

Im gonna take a look underneath the switch box and see if i have stuff under there as well.

and thats a very smart idea to do with the airbag light cuz it does rele bother me haha

thanks for responding tho what kinda rx7 do u have?

I would start at the very easy stuff, are the fuses still good? are the high beam bulbs good? not burnt out or anything. once you have that down, find the wiring diagram in the FAQ and take a look and see if you can trace the problem that way.
