I have a 1974 Midget that I'm redoing. I reinstalled all the light on the rear, all worked. Now I've started on the front light and all the lights except the headlight are not working. What do all the running lights, stop lights, turn signals and dash lights have in common that would cause this?
 
check grounds first. (Black wires)

then fuses and remember that fuses can break in the metal caps and not be visible.

Make sure the spade contacts to the fuse box are clean and tight
 
Going to be working on the same area soon. Thinking about possibly replacing some of the spade connectors as they look suspect.

Probable get a crimp and seal kit. The connectors have a hot melt sealing compound in the connector.

Grounds are always a challenge on these cars.
