YET AGAIN!) and found it (message me if you would like to know which wire it is!) and it worked great.... for awhile... then it quit working again, all the bulbs are good, and its just... UGH! i talked to the chevy garage here in town and he looked at me like i was an idiot when i told him the same thing that the fuses were good and everything.... i wonder if it has anything to do with me changing my stereo....?? what do u guys think??
if you are an electrics wizard why do you work with test lights ?

you will need a repair manual and the proper test equiment to repair this.you mess with the electrical system as you here have stated you will be in a very expensive repair.
