Angry chalk up another thing wrong with my car
Well I just got back from running an errand (damn little brothers), and when I was passing a window on a building I noticed that my parking lights weren't on. When I got into my driveway I checked and noticed that all of my lights, except for the actual headlights, don't work. Anybody have any ideas (please tell me I don't have to sodar anything )

Thanks,
Ryan

Not to be obvious, but have you checked fuses?

So its just the corner markers that are dead? might be a problem in the headlight switch... or they might be on a different relay than everything else... check the wiring diagram

Check switches, bulbs, etc. Sounds like the switch though.

check the for sale section, there might be some there. I sold all mine already. I think Icemark also sells them. Or there are places that sell them.

Try www.rx7world.com. They carry new and used RX-7 goodies. There's an 800 number there so you can call and see if they have any switches in. I've dealt with Ernst before and he's an honest guy.

Mark, do you have any? Cause $230 from that site is a little steep for me, cause I plan on gettin a TII soon.

I don't have a light switch right now, but I have a couple of CPUs and wiper switchs.

I'd check ebay, as I recall someone in the last couple of days had one with a harness and a couple others

You really should, so others can benefit from your experiences.

I have a similar problem, but my headlights are the only lights that do not work on my car.
