friends car.
-drove,went over a slow dip, thing is his front turn signal bulb socket was out, so i guess it hit the ground/grabbed broke
-taillights don't work, but brake lights work
-corners don't work
-cluster light went out
-everything else works
-no blown fuses.
-replaced front turn signal socket/bulb harness, works now

now it's just the cluster, corner, taillights that don't work but the 'brake lights' work basically just the 'night lights'

are you shure you checked ALL the grounds? Even in the light housings.

And the cluster lights, i heard there was a lil box that some times go bad. And replaceing that box will fix your light problem. But i HEARD, and havent delt with it my self. If someone knows wth that box is maby they cant help, so ask around.
