Lights stopped working
I've had my 83 off the road for a little over a month now and started it up earlier. I noticed that my interior lights stopped working, as did my horn, radio, and headlights/tail lights/markers. I walked away for about 15 minutes and when I came back, my dome light was working again but as soon as I pulled my headlight **** out to test those, the dome light stopped working again. Any ideas?
Side note: Has an aftermarket radio wired in. Has stock steering wheel. Also, last year I had a problem with the gauge fuse shorting ( all gauges and warning lights/buzzers properly working this time) and the problem was the single cruise control wire located under the dash. Just a side note but I figured it couldn't hurt to mention the previous electrical problem.
Thanks guys,
Chris

Re: Lights stopped working
check the fuse under the dash. If you dont have an owners manual to show which fuse it is, check the fuses on the right side of the fuse box, closer to the firewall. The radio, horn, interior lights, and power hatch all run off that same fuse.

The diagram below may be helpful:

BTW, check your owner's manual, as 84z suggests, if you have one, for the appropriate diagram.
