Default C4 electrical problems

My 93 was in a frontal collision. I repaired the damage but my interior lights won'tcome on when I open the doors, fog lights won't work and my right side head light motor won't work. All fuses are good. I replaced motor, there is no power going to motor from harness. Any help out there?

The accident may have shorted a wire that goes to a fusible link.
dont have a wiring diagram for your year, but that’s my guess

For the front of the car I would check all of the ground wires. Ensure they are all clean and tight.
The interior lights could be the door switch is stuck because of the hit the car took during the collision.

Most times I've had them go bad, the big ones - no. Some will shrivel the wire around the ballast while other times they won't. Thing I've done before is with the battery disconnected, put a small straight pin through the insulation on either side of the ballast and then check from one pin to the other with an ohm meter. If it's continuous, it's still good.
