    Issues with Rear Parking Lamps

    Does anyone know what material (grease?) was originally used (or could be used) inside of the two halves of the plastic bulb sockets for the larger bulbs??? (This is not where the bulb goes in, but rather INSIDE of the plastic socket halves which can be separated). When the original material...

    Issues with Rear Parking Lamps

    Good News, Bad News. -- The '85 Rear Taillamp wiring harness seems to be different from the '87. The wire colors on the receiving connector of S320 are different from the 87 which explains why I could not get the '85 harness to light. I was going by socket position and/or wire color. I could...

    Issues with Rear Parking Lamps

    Thank you. I found that manual after I posted. Thanks for the clear diagram as well! The brown wire I'm referring to is the (BRN) brown wire in circuit (C320), so I'm testing the correct wire. It goes high (12v) when the switch is on, but no lamps light. Like I said, though actually when the...

    Issues with Rear Parking Lamps

    Hi. I'm trying to get my GN back on the road again. I doing a pre-state-inspection check and everything seems to be good EXCEPT for one annoying issue. ==>The rear taillights/parking lamps do not light.<== -- Turn signals work (front and rear). Headlights work (high-beams as well) Hazzards...
