Subject: Re: [TR] electrical issue
Good point. it wouldn't. But the information offered was a bit sparce. I=
s it just the tail lights and do the brake turn signal lights work?
I believe there is a fuse for those lights somewhere in the harness. It wa=
s a dealer upgrade at some point. Later TR's have a fuse in the fuse block=
for that.

Get under the dash and check the wires in and out of the light switch.
