lights

I am a first time owner. We have an old 1987 Chevy/Mallard. I am having a problem with my tail lights and clearance lights. Are they connected in any way? My blinkers and brake lights work, "tail light fuse is good. Would it be in the Hub under the dash?
Any Help?
  • We bought an '88 22 foot Mallard on a E-350 new and used it untill the fall of '02.

    X2 Use a test light, using a different ground, to see if you have power at the light. If you do that will confirm the ground is bad. If you still have no power you will have to follow the power wire to find the problem, or run a new wire.

    Do the front clearance lights work? They may be on a different ground.
