Re: [T3] lights


Sorry Jim, again my apologies. my electric-ese is weak;-)
With the VOM on ohms set at 200 (not 2K) I inserted the red probe into the rear light socket (touching the brass) the black lead to a ground. I would assume if the line was good I would get a reading of dead 0. But instead it reads 46.3 on both rear tail lights. Now I crawled under the dash saturday to look at the fuse box. All fuses look good and the two wires comming from #1 and #2 fuse are grey and black and gray and blue and both look in good shape although I haven't tested them with the VOM. What I was throwing out to you guys was since this is one set going out from the fuse box, it has to split some where to go to each fender. could this be the source of a short?

Just another question...
Does the plastic cover on the these early fuse boxes only clip on in one direction? When I clip mine on the numbers are upside down  and in reverse order (#10 is on the number one fuse. Or should I just be thankful I have a cover that fits my fuse box.
Thanks again
