Upon further investigation I found the tail and illumination relay and thought for sure that was it. So I swapped it with the rear defog relay right next to it. Still nothing. So then I grabbed the relay and toggled the tail light switch on and felt and heard it switch. Then for fun I jumpered power over to the outside of the fuse and sure enough all the lights came on.
So the question is how am I not getting power from the relay to the fuse?
I have perused Beavs locker (he has some really funny clips here - check out 'Evil Twin') for schematics and found some good schematics, but nothing that shows me the route from the tail relay to the fuse. Perhaps it is all done on the backplane?
I dread the idea of having to take this panel off just because the top nut is all but inaccessible.
If worse comes to worse I will wire in a toggle switch to light these lights for now as this is seriously impeding my night life!
