Anything related to headlamps, instrument lights, door locks, etc... is typically related to a separate module called the BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)

I have a 2002 Durango SLT 4WD and the fuse in the engine compartment box that has the passenger side headlight and auto door lock on it has blown 3 times in the last 2 months. Suggestions?

Check the power wires between the headlights and the fuse box for damage. Sounds like you have a power line short to ground. Meaning the wire that supplies 12 volts to the headlight is making contact with a grounding wire or touching bare metal
somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. Internet search a wire diagram to use as a map before you start the wire trace.

No power to headlights, running lights, brake lights, power locks

Check for wiring under the dash near the pedal. Make sure none of it is in the way of the moving parts around it.

Its when i take out the key and lock the doors that the headlights come on

this is caused by you delay switch or relay staying in the closed position causing it to short out . or if your headlight switch is on the steering colume and acts as a signal light switch used for low and high beam will need replacing

99 bonneville, door locks not working, interior

It could very well be the dimmer switch. There is a plastic cover around the steering wheel held by a few screws. Remove the cover & replace the switch. First check headlight grounds for good connection. A common problem with well used cars is that after opening & closing the drivers door 2 million times the electical wires at the flex point where the door harness flexs tend to break. Open outer cover & pry back to expose the wires inside. The ones that are broken are the culprits. Hope this helps you & please recommend advice.

1985 Fiero: headlight doors will not open

Your headlight motors are bad. Pre-87 cars had a terrible problem with this, upgrade them to the 87-up style. Firebird/Corvette motors are the same.

2000 S10 ZR2

Replace the dimmer switch insid ethe dash it is usually separate from the headlight switch in these trucks. If not then get a known good switch out of a simial truck from a salvage yard before buying a new one and try that first. it could be that the wiring somehow got damaged. This is the only thing I can think of that may be of some help. the service engine light runs off the computer system where the other lights are illuminated from a separate circuit but if the dimmer control switch is moved and they work it is in that system...a short or a bad switch.
