So I'm going through all the electrical gremlins in the car which includes, no reverse lights, no courtesy lights, and no headlights. I'm probably a novice at electrical systems, but I have done some work.
I'm going through and replacing as many bulbs as possible just to take that out of the equation. I also just installed Jon's ATO fuse panel which fixed the electric fans which I don't think were coming on. I have a Headlight controller being shipped out from Jon also.
Headlights: I haven't gone through it yet but there are also aftermarket foglights installed. Thinking of disconnecting these first to see if that changes anything.
Reverse Lights: Haven't tackled this yet, just replaced the bulbs with known working bulbs, which were on the turn signals. Is the reverse switch located inside the shifter area, so basically i need to remove the gate to get at it? Or is it located somewhere on the transmission?
Courtesy Lights: I pulled out the drivers door light assembly and it was corroded and the spade on the assembly where the connector matched up was broken off and stuck in one of the wires connectors. So obviously there is no connection there. I've briefly gone over some diagrams, but would the rest of the courtesy lights not work, if the connection was broken to the drivers side door light. I'm guessing the passenger side door is in the same shape, but I'll have to pull the car out to get at that door. Lastly does the dome light cover snap off, how is it removed? I'm just hesitant to yank on plastic parts made in the 70's because they are usually so brittle.

Boss thank you for the valuable insight, the images aren't showing up, but the inner door light housings were completely corroded along with the old light. I'm going to fix the wires and try to get some new or used housings in better condition from the vendors. Can you guys tell me how to properly pry the cover off the dome light?
