#267471 im having some problem in my del sol, the dash lights, tail lights, corner lights and plate lights wont turn on. the fuse blew i replaced it, than every one i put in blew, but now the fuse is good and hasent blew out yet. i tested for power in the cornor light wires and im only getting power when i put the blinkers on. i replaced all te fuses and none have blown out. could it be the headlight swith??? is there away to check to see if the switch is working properly. the head lights do come on when i turn them on and the high beams work also. just no power to the the dash lights, tail lights, corner lights and plate lights... PLEASE HELP ME

#267478 if you kept blowing fuses like that, then you def had a short to ground or a bad ground. I would start by checking bulb sockets and wires of all affected areas. Look for any frayed/cut/melted wiring. And repair as necessary.

#267479 i changed the bulbs and checked out the wires all look good, can it be the switch or a relay? is there away i can by pass the switch to check if the lights come on?

dead on. Blowing fuses mean a short to ground OR possibly a bad ground. I would start by tracing at each plug and work my way back. A meter would help you immensly.
