Help please before I start tearing the car apart. I just got my '86 n/a back from the body shop. I realized this week that now all of a sudden my running lights on the side of the car that had work done are not working. The hazards work, the turn signals work, but for some weird reason the running lights won't go on? As I said I did have both front and rear fenders worked on, but since they were not removed I can't figure out what may have happened. Any help would be very appreciated. NOTHING MAKES ME MORE NUTS THAN HAVING A LIGHT OUT ON MY CAR! Looks like either I am lazy, cheap, or oblivious.

Well when I had my front bumper repainted last they left one of the wires unplugged. I can't remember if this caused a chain reaction in all the running lites being out. But is it something to check.

I now hav all of my light wires wrapped in electrical tape. I just wanted that added little security knowing that there was something more holding them in place.

Thanks... I was going to check that this weekend but it was friggin freezing in Chicago. I was also just thinking of bringing the car to the shop and asking them to check any connections they may have futzed with.

Have you checked the fuse for that side. If the shop grounded a wire, the fuse probably blew causing the whole side not to light irrespective of the hazzard/turn signals.
