Tail-lights not working
I have a 71 F250 and I have no power going through the wires for the TAIL-LIGHTS.
I have checked the fuses, broke wires and switches. I cant find the problem so I am going to wire it all up new. Does any one have a diagram or know how to describe it to a person suck as I? I would appreciate it greatly.

Is the problem confined to the taillights meaning running lights or are the turn signals and brake lights affected as well? Are the front marker and turn signals working?
We need more info to track down the problem.

Front blinkers have never worked, tail lights work, blinkers use to work along with the brake light, now I have no power from the blinkers or the brake light but I have power th them though.

In your first post you said you have no power to the tail lights. In your last post you say that the tail lights work

I'm still confused...
Is there power at the socket or not? Are the bulbs good? Is there power on both sides of all the fuses? Do the 4-way flashers do anything? If there's power at the socket and the bulb is good, it should light unless the ground is bad, either where the wire connects to the body or in the socket itself. Both are common problems.

You'll have to start at one end with a test light and try to determine where the problem is. A wiring diagram to follow would help a lot. If the turn signal switch is working, I'd start there.
