Well I took the BUCKET out to the Drag strip this weekend & pulled a 1.78 60 ft & al of the sudden the Interior light started flickering on & off down the track!

Got back to the pits & tried messing with the light switch & the Interior lights on the Dash & tach would come on if I would put the switch on in the middle! Well then took it down another pass & the Interior lights went completely off! My headlights will work with my Break lights on the out side of the car, But the interior lights Black as night!

So Yesterday I pulled the light switch off of (CHRISTINE) AKA BlackCoupe & tried that light switch in the BUCKET! Still no INterior lights,

So I pulled my Front Seat out & pulled the carpet up & made sure the ground was connected! Looks good! Then I noticed a wire that was open for a good 24 inch running with all my other wires along under the carpet & when I would turn the Light Switch on it was Hot & when I would turn it off it was Cold!

I think the wire goes to the light switch, But I am not sure! My main question here is does anyone have a idea WHY MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T COME ON? I am sure it has something to do with this exposed wire! But I am not sure that is the only problem that is causing them not to come on!

Sorry for the long post! Just want to get this fixed

Check your fuses. If that wire is the power wire to the lights it should have burned the fuse when it shorted to ground.
