no dash lights no headlights rear lights nothing.
i have a clamp meter that can also use as a multi meter has ohms and dc volts. i have looked around all the wiring and cant find anything obviouse at all, just wondering if anyone would know where to stat looking? or tips on what to do to track it down. thanks guys

Check dash wiring?

Mice have probably eaten the wiring. Adopt a cat!!!

There are serious car mouse problems in rural areas. Easiest solution that I found was to put the car up on jackstands with inverted pie tins at the top of each jackstand. then remove the wheels so the mice cant climb them.

Mice eat the insulation from wiring, with so much failed, it may be around the fuzes, perhaps they just peed on the connections there and caused corrosion.

Good in theory, but never worked for me.
