Seems that the fuse in my light switch has blown. The fuse that is in there has been in there since 1976 and I can' read the amp size.
What fuse should be in a 31 light switch?
Once I get it replaced I need to figure out why it blew.

The fuse is a 15 amp as I remember. The fuse blew because you apparently shorted out something when you replaced the light bulbs in your tail lights. :eek: :( :( :(

Guys,
I have the passneger side tail bucket off the car. I want to check out the two wires before I reinstall the tail bucket just to make sure that both wires are operating correctly.
Is my logic correct:
1) with light switch off and brake pedal not depressed neither wire should cause test lamp to light
2) with lights off and brake pedal depressed only the stop light wire should cause test lamp to light,
3) with lights on but brake not depressed - only tail lamp wire should cause test lamp to light
4) with lights on and brake pedal depressed - both wires individually should cause test lamp to light
Make sense?
