What could be wrong with a 1985 camaro v6 when all lights work except

[jameson.waters]

the dash and tail lights? I've got a 1985 camaro v6 and it got in a front end accident and now the dash lights and the tail lights dont work. The headlights and blinkers and foglights work fine and I replaced all the fuses even though they were probably okay and they still dont work. The radio works its just the backlighting for the gauges in the dash and the tail lights, is it a relay or circuit or something, please help!

you have a blown fuse. in your wreck you damaged a bulb and it is shorting out blowing your running light fuse whitch is the same one for the dash.

most likely the dash regulator got damaged and won't work or the plug in in the dash was jarred loose and the rear lights don't work because it busted the tail lights filaments, or disconnected the ribbon wiring harness in the floor behind the rear seat.

they are on the same circuit so there must be a damaged wire or the headlight switch, if the fuse is good. test to see if you have power at the fuse first,if not check the headlight switch and the wiring in between, if there is power at the fuse then work your way down the harness from there.

Did you check your circuits and fuses?
