Check fusible links behind battery. This could also be a ground wire issue. Black ground wires are bunched together in a connector and screwed to the body with a single screw. Check under the dash near where the antenna wire comes in.

links have been checked and changed to long leg 30 amp fuses
as far as grounds go it could be ill have to do some more checking tomorrow after work, its raining and dark and cold lol.

I believe two are 30...and one is 40...that might be your problem. I'm not certain on that though.

[william]

yes it should be 30 40 30 but i didnt have a 40 so i used all 30's.
i have had this fuse set up for over a year with no problem's
the tail light problem arose a few days ago, and for the last two day they would wait to come on a few sec. after switching on the head light. but now they wont work at all
could it be a relay?

[william]

On my way to work to day i noticed that i had to play with the head light switch to make them come on. Could this be my tail lights problem as well bad head light switch ?

could be that power relay by overflow shorting out or time to clean up fuseable links and upgrade to plastic fuses.

All ready up graded and cleaned. Also swayed relays with known good one. Behind the over flow tank.
I think the onebehind the tank is the head light correct? And the parking and tails relay is on the passenger finder??i didn't have any to swap that one out with. I'm looking for a new one now.And now body has one... Guess its j/y time.

[william]

got it !!!!!!! its the relay thats on the finder pasanger side swaped the head light relay over and then had parking light and no head lights.
