Wedge Brake and Tail lights

[JFS]

I have no power to rear tail and brake lights. I suspect the headlight switch. I remember reading an old post on the removal and cleaning of said switch but had no luck in searching.

The brake lights shouldn't be on the same switch as the tail lights...the brake lights should come on even if the other lights are not on.
Turn the ignition key to ON and depress the brake pedal and see if the brake lights come on...If they don't, then check the bulbs and the ground connections to the bulb socket.

Brake lights go on when the brake light switch is bypassed. New switch ordered to be delivered tomorrow. One problem solved.
Tail lights are more problematic. Light switch feeds fuse 7-8 and fuse 9-10. The former feeds right side and front parking light as well as right tail light. The latter feeds left side and front parking light as well as left tail light. All other left side lights work. One other right side does not. Neither tail light socket is receiving any voltage. Sockets and grounds are good. l'll trace the appropriate wire feeds.

Tail light wire connections cleaned/repaired and now working.
