Help!
I have been at this for two days now. Here is a list of items I have checked...
Fuses
ALL head light wiring
Fixed stereo wiring (previously not grounded correctly yes it was an after market stereo)
Fuse under hood (small lights fuse keeps blowing)

I have tried absolutely everything. I even went to a junk yard today to get a dimmer switch and my lights still don't work.

If there is a way to check the dimmer switch with a multimeter that would be great!! I have one I am just not sure if the switch I got from the junk yard is bad or I am in fact losing my mind!!!??? Any help would be great!! Thanks!!!

Find a wiring diagram online mine had a very similar problem aftermarket CD player and one of the wires tied in to the dash was flipped negative to positive and positive to negative check that out hope it works and also on a side note I pulled the dimmer on my gfs hyundai.while working on it and it caused similar problems. Has the car always been like this or is it a recent developement

The problem didn't exist until the car was rolled. Having said that after it rolled I took the stereo out of it and let my kid hook it back up. He didn't make sure all the wire nuts were on all the wires. He left the ground wire wide open. I hooked everything back up as it should have been. I'm just not sure if the problems happened before the the radio was hooked up after the roll or after the radio. I do have one additional question. The marker/parking lights were busted in the accident and we purched some new lenses from a junk yard. There are two bulbs in each "marker" I replaced one set of the bulbs but forgot to check the other ones until last night. Is it possible since I haven't changed out the the other bulbs that the other two the blew could be the problem?
As for checking the wiring I checked the ground on the radio the other night and the ground has continuity all the time. Just a side note. Thanks for your help!!!! This is driving me crazy!

Had this same problem in a 92 accord. Its the headlight/parking light/turn signal switch on the steering column. fairly easy fix; just remove the bottom cover of the steering column cover and a couple of screws that hold the switch in place.

On my 99 there is a red/black wire that needs to be grounded you could check this although mine is a different model so its at your own risk

Check the wires to the parking lights...if they are damaged and shorting??
