So my car is running much better... But the other night i had it on running good got in to leave the house and blip the headlights went out. I checked the relay (no voltage) checked the power wire... No voltage. The fuses are good and gettig power so is my switch... But the turn signals dont work and neither do the headlights. I have tryed everything but cutting the wire loom and looking for a burnt wire (wich is a total *****) anyone know anything about thses cars because im tottaly stumped...

We wiring.. That's not fun, only thing I can say is to try to find a manual and use the troubleshooting section..

Goodluck bud!

Might be a bad light control unit, and replacing the whole headlight switch may be required. I know the wiper control switch on the other side of the steering wheel is a well known issue to go on the fritz and need replacing.

check the wires with a multimeter if possible, from fuse to relay, switch to fuse, etc, or however it goes. if one of them doesn't show conductance then you know where to start, if it is indeed a busted wire. more likely its a relay or switch.
