I got a 1987 fleetwood brougham and my interior lights wont come on, my door lock switch doesnt work but wen u put the car in park it will unlock all my doors, and my level ride doesnt work anymore but the car stayed at the same height after everything broke, all of this stoped workin all at the same time, and i dont want 2 have to spend a lot of money havin the dealership find the problem so if someone knows what is wrong with my car then please help me
Probably a blown yellow 20 amp fuse. Dome lights and door locks are usually powered thru the courtesy (csty) fuse. Not sure if the level ride is also controlled. This fuse usually blows when one of the lighters is shorted, either by tin foil or dimes in the socket or the hot wire to the socket touches metal. Simply touch each side of the fuses with a test light, key on, car off. If the light turns on on both sides, fuse is good. Lights up on one side only, fuse is blown.

You don't need a fuse tester. Just look through it to see if it's broken. It's kind of an "S" ya know.
He said he's done that. The $4.00 test light allows you to test all without removing them.

Have you checked you headlight switch, the one that pulls out? When turned completely left, it will turn the inside lights on. I bet someone left them on, and that would explain the blown fuse. Try turning that pull switch to the right, as it dims the dash lights too.
