Okay there are a couple electrical things that do not seem to work on my car.

1. Reverse Lights
2. Fog lights
3. Radiator Fan

All of them have good fuses and the lights have good bulbs. Is there anything in common with these that could be the problem?

Also how about would I go about finding a possible short if that is what the problem is?

Sorry, I'm a bad at this type of thing. :ohdamn:
 
Find a multimeter and check for power at those locations could be a short a bad garound or, switch, radiator fan, or a fuse related to any of those check all the fuses i had a 1g with foglight i never found the problem, reverse switch was a bad switch, check the wiring is all this sudden,
