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. |

I just went through the same. After doing the above recommendations, I used a small amount of di-electric grease on the connectors. Esp the lick plate and rear lights where moisture is an issue.
