I'm going to start off with. I already checked the fuses, they all look good.
The headlights will turn on, but they wont close. Every single other light isn't turning on at all though. No side markers, no tail lights. The brake lights wont turn on either. I actually didn't check if the reverse lights work or not.
Does anyone have any clue as to what could be going on here?
What else should I look at. The car sat for about a month and a half, almost 2 months because I needed a new crank position sensor. I also replaced the alternator while I waited on the sensor. I also have a new battery. Good thing is that it runs now.
Any thoughts? I want to go on night cruises safely.

Did you install an aftermarket stereo recently?
One fuse controls all this:

No I haven't. What do you think it could be?

Its a 1988 notchback. 4 cylinder. I'm still fairly new to cars. But I'm pretty sure I can take a look in the morning and see if any of those are bad. Do you know where they would be at specifically?

Out of curiosity, when you turn on the headlight switch to parking lights, with the key or of the ignition, does the blue dingy thingy start chiming? All of this definitely sounds like a fuse or fusible link, having the brake lights not work too as another layer of complexity.
Did all of this start happening at the same time? Did they work for a second then stop working, did the brake lights stop working at a different time then the rest?

Replace the fusible link on the red/white wire coming off of the battery junction terminal.

Just looked. There's no chiming. But it kinda stopped at the same time. Sort of. It started off as the indicators weren't indicating. And then the rest just stopped

Only one problem there. I'm not seeing a red/white here.
Unless you're talking about this wire thats coming off the left side of the picture. Connected to that screw there in middle?

There are two wires from the chassis harness that connect to the Battery Junction Terminal.
The chassis harness is the bundle of wires alongside the battery in the plastic sleeve.
One wire is red, the other wire is red/white.
The red/white wire supplies power to the light system.
