lights not working???

My lights on my 1991 tsi are all out to a certain point????

The corner light, headlight, tail light, and all interrior lights don't come on when i turn them on. the fog light also don't work. They do come on when I turn the alarm on and off.

But : The tail light still works when i press the brake, the car still signals, and the flip lights open but the light don't come on.

I checked all the fuses and they were still good.

What I do next?

Yeah they run on a separate fuse for safety. Have you read the thread just under yours? I'm still looking at the wirnig diagrams for him. But yours i thik is a blown headlight realy. Don't quote me on that though.

Re: lights not working???

I saw that but I was wondering if there was a fuse or power wire that connects all those lights together.

Re: lights not working???

Wwll you checked all the fuses, and your blinkers are still fine. I would guess the next thing to check would be your rheostat, but your turn signals are still good.

Do you know if your headlights are out? Have seen the bulbs to see they are in working condition?
