Default Odd eletrical issue....

Purchased a 98 z28. Been driving it and logging info to tune. But came across a peculiar issue tonight while driving. Went to turn the side passenger window some so I could see better out it. Turning the power window switch to the right caused all the interior dash lighting to go out...and the fog light outside. But if I move the power window stick down the lights come back on.

Any thoughts?

Issued resolved...ended up being blow tail light fuse...but for some reason it was the power mirror switch that blew it...and when toggled just right would carry the power so that has me concerned and chasing new things. But for time being interior and dash lights back up and working.
