Question 80 F-100 Light Problem

Hey guys,

I've got a 1980 F-100, trying to get it back on its feet. Heres what we got:


When lights are on:
  • Front lights are on
  • Rear lights are off
When emergency lights on with lights on
  • Front lights function correctly
  • Back lights flash, but not constanly on
When turn signal is on and lights are on:
  • Left side functions correctly in front, back flashes but not constantly on
  • Right side functions correctly in front, back flashes but not constantly on
When brakes are pressed and lights are on:
  • Brake lights comes on, but normal lights are not on
So as you can tell, we can't get the rear lights to come on when the lights are turned on. We've checked the fuses under the steering wheel. No obvious defect in the wiring.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
