Happy Holidays to all, I am having troubles getting all my running lights to work on my 69 GTV (USA version). The wiring diagram I have, ironically, excludes all parking/running lights. I have left rear tail light, but not the right rear, right rear side marker light but not the left rear side, the left front side marker but not the right.
I know, I know, there is a pattern here. Yes, I've checked the: fuses, swapped out suspect bulbs with known good ones, checked the ground on both suspect side lights, the right front turn indicator housing, the left rear tail light assembly (but I must be missing one ground, right?), and nada. The turn indicators work, brake lights work, instrument lights work, and only one license plate light (but I think that is because the other bulb I did not push/twist correctly, so I think that is a bulb issue). The headlights work, but sort of intermittently; only the right front low beam and the left front high beam work. This is the car I've had since 1985 and all the lights worked wonderfully before I took the car off the road to do a bunch of cosmetic work three years ago. So clearly I have done something wrong in reassembling the car. This is particularly frustrating because I just did a similar cosmetic restoration to my 72 Berlina, including converting it to the round 69 side markers and replacing the stock headlight sheet metal with a '71 set up so now the car has inner fog lights and the outer hi/lo beams. And yes all works well on the Berlina. So where have I gone wrong on the GTV? Or, more accurately, what troubleshooting have I not done that I should to do to find the problem?
