Newbie Lighting Question
Hi All!
Was brushing snow off of my truck just now when I heard a loud pop and most of my lights died..... I had a large crack in my passenger headlight and I think snow got in it. I was only going to move it and a new headlight and passenger turn signal (also broken) will be here early next week
The only lights that work now are my driver's headlight, brake lights, and right turn signal. Rear driving lights, passenger headlight, dash lights, side markers, etc no longer illuminate- they all worked 15 min ago. Passenger rear turn signal will only illuminate the light, but not repeat.
Is this a fuse issue, or did I cook a lighting harness?
Thank You

Welcome to FTE
I would pull all the fuses and check them with a meter or just replace them.
The head lights don't have a fuse, they have a breaker built into the head light switch, but the tail / dash lights do have fuses.
Hope that its just a fuse or 2 and with new bulbs all will be good.
Let us know how you make out.

Is your truck an '84? I'm guessing, based on your username. Wiring diagrams here for 1985, which should be close:
