Well heres the deal..The turn signals work..so I know the light bulb is getting power. When you turn the headlights on, the tail lights don't come on..and when you press the brake pedal, the lights still don't come on. I replaced the Brake pedal switch already and checked all the fuses. Any ideas where to start? For some reason, there's an in line fuse hooked into the wires that go to the plug for the brake pedal switch, but the fuse looks fine in it as well.
Anyone know which wires (on the plug harness thats attached to the right side of the steering column) are the power for the system? I believe that is the correct harness for the lights...but correct me if I'm wrong.
Tomorrow I'll check for power going to the plug that goes to the pedal brake switch, but if that has power...where else should I look?
(EDIT:FIXED) It was 2 different things. First, i had found that the hazard lights didnt work, but turn signals did. I got the parking light to work by tightening the ground bolt. As dumb as it seems, and I hadn't noticed until today when I was poking around in the fender well...that it was loose. So that fixed the parking light. Then I started tracing the wires for the brake lights, and after lots of test lighting, I found that the brake switch was good (used a multi meter to test resistance) but the plug wasn't getting power. kept test lighting all the way to the fuse panel just to find that I had read the fuse panel wrong, and replaced the wrong fuse. The right fuse was corroded. Replaced it...and VOILA. brake lights work! Thanks for the diagram, and suggestions..it helped quite a bit in the long tracing process in the rain.
