No warning lights before start
I have been a long time reader (2004) but here's my first post
Which lights should come on before starting the car? After checking bulbs where do I go from there? Love the forum, U guys have helped me in countless issues as it's finally time to get the Vette back on the road and I would feel a little better knowing the CEL and other warning lights works.
Thanks, J.R.

Well, let's see...key in and turned to the first click - most of the warning lights like brake, oil pressure, temp, battery, etc. should go on. This position checks to make sure the bulbs work. If they don't and you're sure the bulbs are good, you could check the fuse block for a blown fuse. If all the bulbs don't light, then it's something like to fuse - if only one light doesn't work, then there is something wrong with that light.
You could also check for loose and corroded connections everywhere.
By the way, does the car start and run normally?

No warning lights come on, I don't even know where the location is for the Cel!! The head lamps light does work when I turn on or leave the lights on. Nothing comes on when the key is turned to acc or on position.
