Okay, so here's the deal. I've got no interior lights, and no tail lights. I've got brake lights, head lights, everything else, but no damn tail lights. I thought it was a fuse, though when I replaced it, it just blew right off the bat. So.. I figure I have a short somewhere. Any other ideas? And if I do, how the hell do I find it (without taking it to a shop)?

 

Wow.. I gotta say, you must have done something that pissed off the 2G god...
Do you at least have gauge lights?

 

I dont have any effin lights. I've been pulled over twice already JUST driving home from work.. all in the same night and ten minutes apart. I'm not a happy camper. [:@]

 

Is this the same car that was wrecked just recently?

 

Yea.

 

There's not really any way to find the short, short of following the wire harness in the back and the front since that's where the damage was on your car. You know where the problem stems from. It's just a matter of finding that shorted wire. The most obvious places are where the car was creased.

Here's what I would suggest. Take a multimeter and start Ohming out all the taillights (turn and parking most likely). I don't know if you know electronics or not, so I'll go ahead and tell you to make sure the car is not electrically on. No, I don't think you're stupid, but, better safe than sorry.
Once you find the side that is shorted to ground (body of the car), follow that wire and look for sheared off insulation or spliced in wiring.
Who did the body work for you and the electrical work? I would actually take it to them and have them check it since they were the ones that redid all of that. I say, let them chase wires because it's not fun, lol.

 

^^^ I would have said that if it wasnt so f-ed up.

Stick a damn nail in the place of the fuse... that will work : )

 

Jump of a bridge, Seb.


And the car isn't fixed, it's still a lovely little POS. Hence the reason I really don't want to dump any more money into it. =[

Thank you. =]
