Crazy electrical problem. No clue. please help!!!
I was driving yesterday everything was working fine. All of a sudden my blinkers wont work(front and back) corner lights dont work. rear running lights dont work. driver side low beam doesnt work. hazards dont work. Passenger side low beam does work. high beams work. brake lights work. Also ... the green arrows in the gauge cluster dont even come on when i use the blinkers and hazards. checked the driver side headlight ... it is fine ... no reason why it shouldn't work during low beams. please help me, I have no idea what this could be.

Yes, if the alternator went, your battery would die before you couldn't use ur headlights - you wouldn't be able to start and run ur car before your blinkers stopped working, with that said, it sounds like something is obvioius that it's in common, now I doubt one fuse could make all of this go bad...but I could be wrong... The first thing I would look into is as he said, the grounds, there might be part of the fuse panel that handles the outside lights (headlights, taillights, and blinkers) that isn't grounded or came off or corroded or something, look for that first..

check your main fuse box in the engine compartment. try back tracking on what was the last thing you did before it started to go bad. did you install something new?? did you change a light bulb etc..... usually that will narrow the possiblities of what it might be.
i am assuming you already checked the fuse box under the kick panel as well.
