The brake lights work as do the turn signals. All gauges work as does
the heater fan. Only the tail lights and dash lights do not work. I
believe there are only 2 fuses for the car, correct? I've replaced
them both. I can find no loose wires under the dash. The wiring
harness was replaced 2 years ago with a high quality harness.
Everything worked until the paint job.
Thanks again all for your info,
Allan

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 was a dealer upgrade at some point. Later TR's have a fuse in the
fuse block for that.

I'd check grounds too - if the lights are grounded to the body and
the body was painted they may no longer be grounded. Regards, Tony On

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

Subject: [TR] electrical issue
I have a '62 TR 3B. I recently had it painted. The painter took it
apart to paint (fenders, doors, trunk, etc.). After bringing it home,
I discovered that the tail lights and dash lights were not working.
All other electrical items are working.

dash and tail lights on the same circuit? Everything was working
before the paint job.
Thanks in advance for any help,
