Very so true. Start with outside and follow inside.
My old story - I was helping my dad to resolve why in his 1982 Passat front parking lights would not work. It just came back from a body shop and both headlights were replaced. Low beams, high beams, fogs - are good. Parking lights - gone. Rear works, though.
Those cars were known for electrical issues. The old style connectors were poor.
I spent 3 hours chasing fuses, relays, connectors. I found that power is delivered to the headlight.
So finally, lets check the light bulbs.
Well, they were never installed.... and once you put them in - all worked just fine.
I spent 3.5 hours doing a 15 minute job. In late fall, in Poland (kind of like Michigan weather...).

Wiring can be tested with a Multi Meter.

So you can just unplug it and drive? It will not scream at me?
