Question
I have a 87 firebird 2.8, none of the lights work. i checked all the fuses. only the brake light on the dash an check engine light work. is it a computer problem?

Answer
Hi Delroy:

I doubt it's any kind of computer issue. The lights on that car are all controlled by switches. I would start looking for a ground wire issue in the front or rear of the car. take out a socket in the rear tal lamp and turn on the lights see if you have power and gound back there if your missing either of them start tracing the wires back into the car to find the problem. I can't give you and exact answer as to where the issue is your going to have to do some digging to find the problem.
