Dutch Star lights don't work
Friend was leaving this morning when he discovered the running, fog, dash and clearance lights didn't work. Signals, headlights, brake lights work. We aren't electrical guys and need help. Thanks. ...

When checking with a voltmeter:
1. Turn on the lights as this prevents false readings due to high resistance opens.
2. Connect the voltmeter to a frame ground and NOT some ground wire.
A 12V test light is also a good tool for this kind of problem, perhaps better since a light is usually a more visible indication of 12V or not.
One easy check is one of the light bulbs. If you have 12V on both sides of the bulb then then you have a open ground. Otherwise you'll need to find the faulty component which includes fuse, CB, switch, wire or connector. A wiring diagram, fuse or relay location would be very helpful.
