The night the lights went out

The taillights, side lights, and dome light went out last night on my 72' longbed. I have changed all of the fuses to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on what may have gone wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks
Christopher

That happened one night on my 70. An open wire on the back for a trailer light switch shorted out and blew the fuse. So as I hit them on they went out.

If all the fuses are good then you need to check light switch as all the above are powered thru it.
