Tail lights not working, but signal and brake lights are ok. Wiring diagram or diagnosis of problem would be great help. Thanks.

do you have access to a DMM? you will need to test at the switch to see if it is getting power to it. that will be the first step.

Try the fuses, their is one for each side, also the ends of those horrible ceramic fuses get corroded,a good clean up is often requied, you've got 26years of moisture in there.

Good point, Howie. I shall pass it along. It is so cold here right now the poor old dear won't even start, but once things thaw out we'll check out your suggestion. Thanks.
