Wiring gremlins.

Went to go move my car on sunday night and when I turned on the headlights, most of my lights randomly died. Everything had been previously working fine, and was working for 3-5 seconds when I turned the headlights dial, but then died.

I still have head lights, and high beams, as well as upper interior lighting, and reverse lights when I shift into reverse.

I do not have dash lights, a digital clock (although the little rectangle does become lighter. Will not display time), tail lights, or those lights above the rear license plate.

I pulled the fuze cover in the engine bay and checked all of them and they are good. I also tested every fuze under the dash, and they are good.

I recently wired in a switch which can control the lights above the license plate (turn them off at night at my discretion ) with an in-line fuze, but I checked my connections into the wiring harness, as well at the fuze, and at the switch it's self, but everything checks out.

I'm not really sure what the culprit could be here. Has any one experienced a problem such as this, or know of the solution??? Google and search didn't lead me to any definite reasoning .

Found my problem, and I feel like an idiot. It was the wiring going into the headlight switch, which I had replaced when I first purchased the car. Turns out some of my heat shrink tubing was only covering 99% of one of my connections, and the wire was only now starting to short out.
