electric problem on the taillights

[michi]

Okay guys, i dont have any breaking light and parking light on the drivers side taillight. i have checked for power at the wire which is for the parking light and i found out that i dont have any power there. dumb question but is there another fuse for the tails? i never had that problem yet and i also checked all the fuses and they are allright.

start by switching to a known good working bulb (makes sure it's the right bulb, 2 connections, 2 filaments), if still a no go, (what should be a first step actually) clean the connection really well. if there is surface rust, scrape/sand it till it's shiny, then use di-electric grease to protect it. if the connection is in worse shape, then you may need to buy another and replace it. usually not the case, but these things ain't getting any younger.

the weird part is that i dont have power on the wire. already checked that after switching to another connection when it still didnt worked. going to take everything apart tomorrow and look where i have power on the wires and where not...

i found out that the euro spec cars got extra fuses for the taillights, lol... there was a broken fuse so its all good now

Interesting... I really would love to see how GM did the change over vs what we've come up with to get them to work.

I'd follow your tail light harness and check for places that it's rubbed through possibly.

I went through a lot of trouble with worn through harnesses in my full size trucks, blowing the fuse that also powered the interior lights as well....not sure what fuse that was now though.

If you don't blow anymore fuses, then you might be okay and it was a freak occurence, but a blown fuse usually means there is an issue.

my buddy checked how much power is on the bulb connection cause i had problems with license plate lights so he might get + + so thats why the fuse went out, lol.
this happend some months ago when i parked the beretta to get the camaro out. so its all good now but thanks alot the tips
