Default My Head Lights and Turn Signals Stopped Working

I was driving home and the headlights and the turn signals stopped working. I do have a driver side high beam that works...but thats all I checked all the fuses and they are all fine, even the ones in the IPDM. 2003 Z base mod.

if the entire chunk of plastic died, check the connector to the main headlight harness. Pull tire, fenderwell plastic etc. Good luck.

by ipdm you mean the fuses behind the battery? Dunno.. relay perhaps.

The headlights and the turn signals are pretty isolated from each other as far as the schematics goes. Turn signals are controlled through the BCM and headlight are controlled through the IPDM. So it’s most likely a connector or wire close to the headlight housing. I’d start with checking the grounds at the headlight connector.

ALl the fuses are good on mine too, but my rear right signal doesn't work.

I was wrong...the turn signals work, I just didn't see them until last night. I'm thinking that all the head light bulbs went. Its an 03 so they are really old. Will change them today.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
