My lights on my 1991 tsi are all out to a certain point????

The corner light, headlight, tail light, and all interrior lights don't come on when i turn them on. the fog light also don't work. They do come on when I turn the alarm on and off.

But : The tail light still works when i press the brake, the car still signals, and the flip lights open but the light don't come on.

I checked all the fuses and they were still good.

What I do next?

Yeah they run on a separate fuse for safety. Have you read the thread just under yours? I'm still looking at the wirnig diagrams for him. But yours i thik is a blown headlight realy. Don't quote me on that though.

I saw that but I was wondering if there was a fuse or power wire that connects all those lights together.

Wwll you checked all the fuses, and your blinkers are still fine. I would guess the next thing to check would be your rheostat, but your turn signals are still good.:frown:

Do you know if your headlights are out? Have seen the bulbs to see they are in working condition?

Try find a different headlight switch. The switch maybe simply be shot.
