Well my headlights work, but i got no brake lights, most of the dash wiring is in but i have a ****ty gauge cluster hooked up just to verify my 3G swap worked, anyhow, i have side indicator lights, but no brake lights or running lights, fuses arent blown, checked all the wires, only thing that i can see having an issue is the hatch latch likes to open by itself, all wires are fine, all grounds are connected, i believe all the switches are hooked up under the dash (pretty easy to see since its just the dash frame and nothing else this is really the only thing holding me back from completely finishing the interior of the car, a thousand thanks in advance

It sounds like a ground issue since so many things are not working, try the two poke test and that should be able to verify if you have an open ground or not

Check your in/outs at the multi-function switch.

If your 3rd brake light works, you know that the brake light circuit at least has power at the brake light switch. Definitely a problem at the MFS.

Check to make sure none of the wires came out the back of the hazard switch plug also, that has happened a few times to me when my blinkers didn't work, and a wire had come out of the connector

My hazards worked also but the turn signals didn't. Do the hazards cause the exterior lights to work?
