Hey guys, I have a read a bunch of threads, tried some stuff and still need help, please. The rear tail lights on my 67 GTX wont come on. Everything else works; rear blinkers, brake lights, and even the trunk light. Fuses good. Could it be the dash switch (pull out three position switch, not a toggle) in that last position? Electrical is a weakness for me. Thanks much.

The wiring connector going to the rear is in the left kick panel. The blinkers and turn signals have nothing to do with the taillights. Headlight switch is inexpensive too.

Check your wiring diagram for the color of the wire and check for 12V there.

So, turn signals work but tail lights out?

Check wiring diagram tail lights power runs through switch. The tail light is the element that both blinks and shines

yeah, they are blinking both sides with turn signals on and flashers too. But not lit just with the headlight switch pulled out. That's why I was wondering if it could be the switch.

Hope I'm not highjacking but what about having taillight on left side but no brake light or turn signal. That's my issue on my 67 Plymouth
