This is my 1986 Rx7, as you can see it is being modified.

At this point in time i have ran into a stick in the mud.
The problem is I have no running lights, I have replaced the fuses all of em. also changed all the bulbs too inside and outside bulbs. But still no fix yet.

I have brake light and turn signals, also hazard lights work too.

So what am I missing, I have thought that is could be a bad switch but am hoping that i am wrong.
Anyone have this problem before?

Hello !!

I think that your problem its a single wire...

follow it all the way to the switch it could be bad at some point ( RED AND BLACK WIRE )
Also check the BLACK wire (ground)

you can check the switch, if good should show output on the red and black wire positive (+)

Here the wire schematic:

Good Luck and remember: all donations are really appreciate! (if possible)

Hey. If you need the complete schematic of the lighting let me know!

That wire "feeds" the dashboard lights also.

Good Luck!
