I have a 89 GW 360 all original,with 136K on the block, and I have not been able to locate the problem with my lights.The headlights work,and the windows work,door locks,rear window.None of the interior lights come on,except for the lower interior drivers side light when you turn on the overhead switch,or open the door, and today that stopped working along with the power mirrors.Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogley! Is this a common thing with the old waggies,or am I just stuck with an electrical nightmare? I was having major heat issues in the engine a few days ago, and my mechanic replaced the thermastat and that cooled down,but the damm thing keeps losing interior lights.I have an overhead console as well, and the compass works,temp gauge, but the lights don't come on, and none of the readings come on either except to change the temp to metric!
Is there something I am missing here? Computer issues?Heat damage? Stupidity? :confused:

I HAD the same problem with my interior lights, something about them shorting out in the drivers side pillar. Any way since I had pulled my headliner to replace the saggy one I did the lights at the same time. Real easy fix.
