914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Teener back from painter with no tail lights

Posted by: rpg5553 Jun 11 2011, 04:57 PM

Got my 71 teener back from the painter with only one brake light nothing else working on the tail lights. They did not label the wiring and so I have a mess.
Found a blown fuse and suspect the turn signal relay is also fried. Will order one Monday. Got my Chiltons manual out and can make no sense out of it to check where the wires go. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or color chart for the tail lights? I got my meter out and started checking the wiring but have a concern what color the grounds are. Hate to make things worse by trial and error getting
the tail lights wired up properly.
Thanks

WOW Thanks for the help. The old diabetes is getting to my eyes so when I look at wiring diagrams the BK, BL, BR all look the same. The attached layouts sure helped. Now I have tail lites and break lites. Still got a problem with the blinkers as its blowing the #2 fuse from the right. Guess I need to order the
turn signal relay and see if that fixes my turn signal problem. Will do the old arm signals for now
Thanks again for the help.
