What do you have for a diagram/ shop manual?

Tail lights should be black wire. See if you have power at the connector in the left kick panel before the harness goes under the door sill

puse in on all the column wireing or un plug it & see, if any of them are pushed back in thear & not makeing contact, I think its the one on the mane end or close to end, bacause I put a column in my 72 & pulled a wire loose, I can't remenber if that wire just wint to tail lights or both or just brake lights, but thats something to look at if ya ant!
