I'm sorry crazedfox, it's been raining since Sat. and haven't had a chance to check. My Camaro SS and the wife's car stays in the garage. I can't wait to follow through with your instructions though.

Put,
__wife's ride out. Then pull yours in to work on it.

LOL, just kidding.

My wife would put the hurt on me, if I did that too.

Good luck...

I finally had a chance between rains to check this. What I did was pull the taillight out and wrapped a wire around the taillight harness terminal then screwed in back in then the other end I attached to the neg. battery post. After that I jumped between the white/purple and the black/red wire. After all this I still had no lights?????? I even jiggled the wires but didn't make no difference. I did check the voltage between the two wires and it was a low 7.9-8.5V?? I'm about to give up and take it to a shop but I would not have the gradification of fixing it myself. To me it means 10 fold if I can do something myself.

Any more ideas?

Take,
__some pictures of your work, & post them for me.
I've got to see your work.

Pics of:

Sockets for tail light. (in the hole for the tail-light lens)

Under truck- bed harnesss connector - (the square plug)

Under hood- NSS connector -

Battery + starter-sol.

This will give me a better overview of everything.

P.S. how is the battery's voltage doing?
Is it low when you do these test's?

Man,
__if I was there. I probably could have had this fixed within a day.

Playing this post tag is trialing.

If you wish, I'll PM you my phone #.
So we can do this faster.
(it's cheeper on my phone, I've got magic-jack.)

It feels like I'm communicating with the moon.
(Takes a looong time to relay a single message.)

P.S. don't forget the pics.

Yes PM me your #. I also have Magic Jack so it won't cost anything to talk. You are more than welcome to come to IL. LOL just kidding. I have never posted any pictures on here before because I'm not sure on how?? I could email them to you if you give me your address.

My voltage has always been that low when the motor is not running, when it's running it's normal.

Thank you!!
