Front Side lights wont work, please help
Hey guys, I have a 91 vette and my front side lights (that light up the road when a signal is on) wont work. The parking lights and signals work as they should, but my front lights wont work on either side. I checked connections and wires, but that doesnt seem to be the problem. Is there a fuse, or relay someone may have removed. They have never worked since I have owned the car... :confused:

No manuals at work but, I believe they are refered to as marker lights. I don't know if there is a fuse marked that way or not. Maybe someone else has access to the Helms or haynes.

Hey Soundkiller: Ironies of ironies! I noticed my "cornering lamps" weren't working earlier this week, I just got my head out from under the dash and found that connector C204 wasn't plugged in all of the way!! There is an 11 position connector on the right side of the steering column (looking toward the front of the car). The last 4 wires are for the cornering lamps with their own snap in connector. Pushed it back in and all is well! Hope this helps.

excellent! I will give that a shot, I have been looking everywhere and cant find it. I dont have a wiring manual or book, so I am going to try to find the connector, I am not certain where to look, but will start in that area

I read on this forum a few weeks back that the rear side markers only come on when the car is in reverse. I know thats not your problem area but hey - it was news to me... thought it might be helpful down the road.

Have you had a chance to contort yourself under the dash to check your connections? :confused:

Turns out, my connections under the dash, near the steering column, were not all the way connected, as mentioned from another member on his car. Thanks! I wonder how many people have this problem and dont know it???
