67 Dart Conv. - No Tail Lights, Park Lights, Flashers

I checked the head light connector, in spots and it was melted. I replaced it and then jumped it to test the park, tail, and instrument lights. I rewired the connector correctly based on everything working via jumping from L1 wire to the E1,L7, L6, L2. Everything lights up from the wiring harness.
I don't understand the rewiring jump test. What happend to wire L8?
If there is power on B2, the rest should work with the switch on.
L1 connects to B1. It only powers the headlight terminal H. There is a 15 amp circuit breaker built in.
L8 connects to B2. It powers terminals P (L6), R (L2)and Inst (E1)in position 1, and R and Inst with headlights on.

The weird part is that the courtesy lights stay on when the door is closed and dim them the brake is applied.
First part means something inthe M2 circuit is grounding.
Is the headlight switch knob turned off of the dome light position?

Second part. What does the ammeter show?
Do the brake lights come on ?
