Tail light problems
I have a 1975 crew cab and the tail lights/park lights aren't working. Brakes and rear signals work. Are the tail lights/park lights on a seperate fuse? I have been reading other posts and have been getting conflicting info.
I also and having trouble with one front signal light. If it is a bad ground to the socket should a test light show current going into the socket? It is probably a stupid question but I don't know the answer.

The taillights/parklights are on a seperate fuse that feeds all the marker lights front and rear. And they are all fed by a brown wire. If your front markers are working, then your fuse is good, and I would suspect you have a wiring problem along the driver's side frame rail or in the rear bumper area were there is usually a factory plug, and a big mess were someone had a trailer tow harness wired in.
