Classic/Antique Car Repair: Electrical, 1986 pontiac parisienne, pontiac parisienne

Question
Hello again. I have a couple questions regarding my 1986 pontiac parisienne brougham. It seems all the interior lights in the car do not work. Also my power seat does not work. I was wondering what could be the problem. Thanks

Answer
Well I don't think I can answer this but on the power seat, unplug the harness and test with either a test light or multimeter to see if you have power, if so then its in the seat motor, If not then check fuses.

The interior lights?..well if none work then check fuses, if a couple work then is it say just door lights that work?, courtesy light?, One comes on, one goes off Then it becomes the old If I were a lightbulb tactic

Not trying to be funny in your time of need but sometimes I hate electrical as much as the next guy, it could be a loose ground wire and then it becomes a matter of buying shop manual, finding color code for grounds, Sometimes purple or brown, then the routing for lighting system.
Or maybe a squirrel got in! Its happend to me!

Good luck on this one
Mike
