I'm trying to figure out the correct wiring for my 73 in the tail lights. brake lights were working, but not running lights or signals. I screwed around
with the wires, and gor the running light working but now the brake lights don't work. I was looking at the wring diagram, and since I have no experience reading them, I only got more confused then when I started. Anyone have a wirinng diagram for idiots? something showing the color wire attached to the propper terminals?

Also I was trying to find the location of the relay, anyone? help a lost bruther out?

You're not an idiot - this happens to everyone - including me.

there's a diagram in the linked thread.


Pretty sure all the light relays are on the top of the fuseboard.

Hope this helps!

Even more fun after PO painted the wires
Just takes 2 people, a voltage tester, and lots of patience in that case.

LOL. There was another thread I found about how to do that - for the other fun case - the light box being miswired....



I could imagine a case where the wires were painted AND the lightbox was miswired.
