Hi,

I suspect there is an issue with splice 307. At that point, the black wire with a yellow tracer is spliced together for the rear lights.

If you look below, pic 1 shows the schematic. Pic 2 is the location of the splice, so you will need to pull the carpet back in the area shown.

Locate the black/yellow wire splice and inspect it for corrosion or damage. With the lights on, have a helper stand in the rear of the vehicle while you wiggle the splice to see if the lights turn on and off.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

joe

Hello, do your Brake lights work? They share a Ground with the tail and license plate lamps for the left(driver side). And do you have a way to check for power at the bulb sockets? Such as a test light or multimeter? If there is no power at the bulb socket for those lamps there are some connectors we can check for corrosion.
