blk'72,

This diagram is for a 71 but, it is likely the same as a 72 and might eliminate several problems with your tail lights.

Reconnect all of the wires as shown in this diagram. If you still have problems,
make a detailed list of the symptoms and we can all then come up with posible
fixes.

(The terminal numbers are stamped next to the pins on the tail light enclosures. You can't see them without pulling the enclosures out but, you don't need to do
that. There is a row of 3 pins and a row of 4 pins parallel to that on each tail light.
You can figure out which color wire goes where by the relationship of that color
to the row of 3 or 4 pins in the diagram.)

Good luck at it,
