On the drivers side inner fender there is a white connector located directly below the hood spring, between the grid heater relays and the hood spring. It has a tendency to corrode. Give me a few minutes to attach a pic from photobucket. I attached a jumper lead to point it out.....

check the wires feeding into your fuse block under the steering column. Mine for my interior lights broke free and it was no longer making contact with fuse. The plastic that holds the spade type connector broke. The fuse appeared fine but did not have lights.

See if you are getting 12 Volts to it & through it when the key is on.
