RA65 electrical probs and manual

Just bought a Celica RA65 XT, and it's having a few electrical problems. Firstly when you put the headlights on the instrument lights don't come on at all on the dash and the console. I also noticed that the tailights don't even work, aswell as the parkers. I'm lost trying to find the fuses and relays for the dash lights, don't have a manual to help me. Was wondering if anyone has had a problem like this before or if they have any ideas as to how I could fix it.
Also does anyone have an electronic copy of a RA65 manual, that would really be helpful.
Cheers!

Fuses are in the kick panel next to your right foot. Sounds like you have a few blown ones in there.

Thanks for the reply. Already checked all the fuses and none of them are burned out, they're all ok. Even the ones under the bonnet are fine.

check the relays that drive various parts of the electrical system (under bonnet & at kick panel) ... if they're all still OK then you're best getting a multimeter and working out where you do and dont have power for the park/dash circuit
i have a haynes manual for celica's up to '85 here but i would have to scan it at work on thursday.

Any chance that it has an aftermarket stereo?, i remember if not installed properly or something they can do some pretty weird stuff to your electrical system. If not then go the multimeter!

Cheers. Reckon I sorted it out. There was a loose connection under the fuse box. Everything seems to be working now.
