I have 12 volts at fuse #7, but only 6 at the rear trunk light and the license plate lights (they're all really dim).
The wiring harness looks old but OK, but I haven't taken a really close look. What could cause that and where can I look? Thanks for your help. |

Most likely culprit in this case are the connections between wires. This includes spade connectors at the fuse panel and anywhere 2 wires come together with some sort of connector including grounds.
There is a spade connector on the back of your fuse panel. You can only get to that by dropping the panel. If you do drop the fuse panel, disconnect the battery negative first until the panel is moved to where you can do some measurements, then reconnect the battery negative. Same thing when putting the fuse panel back in place. |
