Default Electrical issue

I have 2003 Vette- appears it has no electrical problem- hood light not on and tail lights do not light when brake pedal down. One year old battery appears ok - green on trickle charger

For the hood light, are you sure it's plugged in? Sounds stupid, but that seems to be the case every time.

Agree on the hood light harness..
Local ervice department has forgotten to reconnect it more than once.
If the harness is still connected, check the bulb. Minces blown once or twice

for the tail lights....do the parking lights work?
(and)
check the fuse(s).

My 2003 over this past weekend started giving me trouble. The twilight stopped working and front blinker lights stopped working as well, all of this happened at once?? Can anyone recommend someone near Hot Springs Village, Arkansas to check it out??

Have you confirmed twilight sentinel is still activated? Have you checked bulbs and fuses? Do rear turn signals work properly? How about hazzards all the way around? Start with simple no cost items you can do yourself before seeking a shop. Also, did you do anything to the car recently? Disconnect the battery, etc.

The more items you can help cross off the list, the better. It also helps those on this forum help you diagnose the problem.
