So about 6-8 months ago all my interior lighting went out. The fuse will instantly blow when I replace it. My power windows stopped working about 2 months ago. All signs are pointing to a short somewhere in the system, right? I'm going to check the wiring in the doors and the wiring around the visors as those seem to be most suspect. After that though I'm lost. I have a multimeter but don't know how to use it.

Lights would most likely be a short to ground, yes. Power windows could be an open AKA a break, in the wiring if it's not blowing fuses, or a problem with the master switch (everything runs through the driver's door switch.) Problem with the interior lights is that there's like 10 of them in a civilian Panther. Overhead, visors, doors on some years, rear reading, front map. Those should have constant power going to them from that fuse, with the lights activated by grounding. I'm not sure if the cig lighter(s)/power point(s) are powered by the same circuit - that might be something to check as well. Tracking down a short can be a pain, especially since everything goes to ground in that circuit anyway if any of the lights are activated. Hinge points are a good place to check, though - as you say visors and door jambs.

I swear sometimes I think this car is cursed. Its at least 12 inches long. Happened while parked in my apartment complex. Luckily I have full glass coverage so I'm getting a brand new windshield put on tomorrow.

I have a beautiful new windshield now. Had two little pieces of tape that I was supposed to leave on for a day. I removed it and a nice section of paint. :slap: And now I have some less beautiful wheels that I'll be using for the summer.

The paint thing is inevitable. It's amazing how bad they managed to gently caress that up.
