Default Car shuts off with headlight fuse pulled out??

Car is a 95 Trans Am that I picked up several months ago. Car doesn't have interior lights or dash lights. While troubleshooting this I pulled the lights fuse then the car has no power. Put the fuse back in and the car fires right up. Pull it out and the car dies. Car has a MVB TH400 swap in it and was a A4 before the swap. All done by previous owner.

All other fuses are good in car and under hood. All grounds that I can see are good.

Any ideas?

Sounds like some creative wiring was done. You're just going to have to dig in and find out what they did.

Well I got the dash out and the whole front end torn off and nothing is disturbed.

It is the tail lamps fuse also not the headlamp fuse. @nd down in the interior front fuse panel.

I was hoping it was a corroded central ground but all look to be good. Only other thing to me could be the Fuseable links.

Also the tail lamps do work but dim the brake, turn and flashers work. So it is in the tail lamp section wiring.
