Isuzu Amigo, 2 WD 1991?
I bought this, sight unseen and it does have a few issues. I'm not a dummy and can do most of the stuff that needs to be done but, I'm having trouble finding complete exhaust systems for the 2.6 liter 4 Cyl, FI engine. Another problem is the wiring for the dome light that doesn't work. Tried to trace it and fuse is fine but no light. HELP!! Have a Chilton's workshop manual, am looking through that to try to locate the problem area. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick

Have you checked with Isuzu for the exhaust components? If they no longer sell them at the dealer or are too expensive, you may be able to locate a used one on http://www.car-part.com/ or perhaps from other owners who commonly frequent forums that are specific for your model/year Isuzu.
As for the car light, it's likely a wiring issue or a an oxidized connector. Also check that you or a previous owner didn't add something that required them to tap the wiring for the light. These commonly used tap's will frequently oxidize or break the wiring and cause faults like you describe (an open or grounded circuit).
Sometimes aftermarket alarms are triggered by these
Can you describe what you did to trace it?
Did you check for voltage at the light socket? Did you perform resistance checks to verify wiring is good?
As for the chilton's manual, please bear in mind that the actual manufacturers service manual is usually contains substantially more details that an owner can use than any other after market manual alternative (even the manuals non-dealer mechanic's use). Of course the service manual is usually much more expensive than a Chilton's/Haynes alternative but it's well worth the cost if you plan on doing your own maintenance and repairs.
HTH.
