Hello I repair community, I annoy you because they do not turn on the lights of my Renault 12 Mod 89. Fifth box (I do not think that has to do, but hey). Obviously I already looked in the forum, and found a case similar to mine, but unfortunately the user did not respond more so I did not see a solution. About 5 days ago, I came with the car very quiet as always, and suddenly I felt a slight burning smell ... it caught my attention because it was like the smell of burnt plastic ... but as I just passed through a field where things usually burn I did not pay attention to it, that day I arrived at my house and kept the car as usual, the next day I was in the car again and I felt the same smell again, that already caught my attention, since twice the same smell and On different days and places I certainly began to think that it was coming from my car, then for reasons of time and for my forgetful head I did not remember to check what it could be. That day I arrived at my house as usual and kept the car, but went to the other day I wanted to leave and trying to turn on the lights did not work. The lights that don't work specifically are the front and middle lights, and the rear lights. The reversing lights, front and rear winks and the stop lights do work. Obviously the first thing I did was check the rifle, but from what I saw no fuse is bad, then I checked the relay….
the relay is like this ..
Because by chance I had another one in good condition, like this I changed it to see if it was that, but nothing. they did not light up, without a doubt something happened, I started looking for cables to see if something was burned or scorched, but I did not find anything, take out the “moldings” of sheet metal that are below and where the cables pass, but I could not see anything, but I am sure, for that smell to feel, that the problem must be in some cable. So, with no intention of taking more time, could you help me by telling me that I could, or what would be the first thing I have to review? Or what cables to see. Thank you very much for any help, regards.
UPDATE.

Try a test light that I did ... which is this ...
in the key of the light, but I honestly did not know where to test, so I put an image of where to "test" to see if the test light turned on.
in the marked places I put the test light, a cable to the light key and another to the chassis ground, and in the places marked the test light came on, but as I said, I honestly don't know if that has to do, or if I was testing if current was coming, or if it came out ... if you can help me by telling me which connectors I would have to test with the light I will thank you very much. greetings.
UPDATE !!!!
Guys !!! long ago when I change the key of the light, never throw it away, and now look for it to try it! change the "new key that changed a while ago" to that old key that had been thrown since the change! since they don't know turn on the lights !!! with that old key, with which I suppose it is factory and change because it warmed me up! so it seems that after all the problem is the key, what I don't know now, is if that "new" key was spoiled by some problem ... or if it was spoiled just because they are bad ... But as I said! With the other key they turn on !!
