66,666 miles, bad luck is bound to happen...
So the car rolled over 66,666 miles and some bad luck creeped in lol
for some reason my 2 side markers and one top amber light inside inthe passanger headlight went out today
I thouht maybe all the bulbs just went out together by couencidence, like all of them just burned out together. However, when i locked my car with the fob, the side markers that i thought were previously burnt out, flashed on showing i locked my car.
seemed kinda wierd, almost like it is a short or somethin?? only thin i can think of that could relate to a possible short, is i replaced the negative wire's metal connector thing that attached to the chasisa few weeks earlier. one night the cable fell out of the old one so i replaced it. it was a little loose, because i wasnt able to clamp it hard enough with the clamper i had, but i electrical taped it nice and snug so it didnt move at all.
anyways just wondering if you all had any feedback on this, does it sound like a short?
thanks guys

.....yes i had to take a picture
So little by little i am leaning toward my problem being some kind of an electrical grimlin. my rear drivers side red side marker went out along with all the other ones that went out earlier, front side markers and the top amber light in drivers headlight.
It is so weird though, my side markers on the front fenders don't work when i have my parking lights on, or regular lights on, but when I click the lock button on my key fob they flash like usual.
Also, i noticed today, when i turn of my headlights off inside the the car, the hvac lights go out immediately, as usual, but now the lights on the stock stereo headunit stay on for a good 2 to 3 seconds then slowly fade out. can anyone give me some info on what is going on with my lights?
I also just changed out the old negative battery cable and terminal that was a little loose with a new one, and it is in there tight, not loose or anything.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Not sure if this will help but check this connector just to be sure, scheides posted up on our local forum, not sure if he did here, he was having some electrical problems though too.
