Default Electrical Issues-Thoughts and Advice Needed Please!

Hi Everyone,

So I'm out cruising in the Z last night and a guy pulls up beside me to tell me my rear lights including the brake lights aren't working. What's weird is that they were working just fine when I left the house 45 minutes earlier. BTW, the drive was 100% normal, and I didn't do anything that I am aware of to cause this.

So I quick head home and sure enough, all of the rear lights including the lights on the rear quarter panels and even the reverse lights aren't working. Then things got weirder. I shut her down for the night and when I hit the lock button on my keyless entry the alarm goes off. I hit unlock and the alarm stopped going off thankfully. When I locked her manually, the dash lights and the radio lights illuminated!

For what it's worth, the headlights, HUD, radio, dash, power windows, etc...all work just fine. As for the engine, it isn't skipping a beat.

My Z is a garage queen with 11,700 miles. Never raced, tracked, just babied. Any idea what the heck is going on? Any and all input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
