Help me with my lights.

[IronOutlaw]

Ok, put a battery in the camaro today and started checking all of the lights and need to know how to fix them.

Right outside tail/brake light is out. It didnt have a bulb in it before and made my cabin light stay on. I put a bulb in it and it still doesnt work but the cabin light goes off now.

Blinkers come on as running lights when the headlights are on. Prior owner put clear lights on so im not sure if he messed something up, but the blinkers on neither side light up with the blinker switch. The light showing the little green arrow in the dash stays solid when I turn on the blinkers or flashers.

Neither fog light comes on, I still have to change the bulbs but Im gonna go ahead and throw that out there.

All of the fuses are good in the car, but I havent checked all the relays yet, which I dont think are relate to lights.

Thank alot,

Trent

Replace flasher. If that doesn't work, you probably need to replace the sockets. 93-94 LT1 Birds had a water issue with the sockets and they're known for going out. DO NOT buy them from the stealership. Get the low profile ones from Pep Boys or something, they're probably about $5.00 each still.

Im a little worried, prior owner put in homemade HIDs and clear blinkers, hope he didnt mess anything up. His wiring for the stereo that was in the car before and the nitrous wiring was, "Creative" to say the least.

I think its the flasher the more I think a bout it. The light comes on in the dash but does not flash and they come on with the running lights. Is the flasher in the steering column? I have a haynes manual and am gonna read up on lights and what not, so I hope I get it all figured out.

Ha, thats next on the list if the flasher or socket doesnt fix it.
It would also come in handy on my railbuggy.

I know man. When I was going through the car right after I bought it I was thinkin, this dude is worse than me at riggin shit up.
I bet ive ripped out 100 foot of wire that didnt have any use.

any luck tracing your lighting problem yet?

[IronOutlaw]

I havent messed with it yet. This weekend though Im gonna buy new bulbs for the foglights and a new flasher and see what that does. I think that will fix it, but I have now idea why my right brake light still isnt lighting up, but its not that big of a deal.

Ok. Just gonna update my light problem status.

If you cant tell in the pictures, my right rear tailight housing is cracked and let moisture in. It rusted all my connectors except for the outside one. I replaced these and all of my lights on the rear of the car is working, but Im still gonna need a housing to prevent this from happening again.

Im about to go to oreillys and get new fog light bulbs and a blinker bulb and that will have all of my electrical problems solved. :)
I also have the locks working, thanks for the suggestions from another thread.
