Hi All!
At my home I have Dwayne's "New" Pinto. It has been to the paint shop and looks good enough to eat! When she went there, her taillights worked. When she came back her taillights worked. The morning I was to take her to work (with Dwayne's permission) her lights worked. I know because I go to work when it's still dark, and I did sort of a pre-op, focusing on side markers, taillights, headlights, and turn signal lights. About a mile from my house someone drove beside me on the small "expressway" and informed me that I had no taillights. I pulled over, and sure enough he was right. I turned around and went home, parking her and jumping into my Rodeo. Since then I have looked up the fuse chart (nothing there for taillights, brake lights, etc.), replaced the brake light switch, checked to see if there were cracks, breaks, wear on wire insulation, changed bulbs... still I have no taillights. Is there something I'm missing here? I've consulted the 1974 Ford Shop Manual, but wasn't able to find anything. I appreciate any insight or help with this. She needs to be driven, but til this is fixed, it's illegal to drive her. Thank you.
