<< 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? >>
Since you've found these 2 wires, and you have a VOM, why don't you just
check them from end to end and see if you get something near 0 ohms (you'll need a
piece of wire about 6 ft long to reach the other end of the wire though).
This way you can check to see if you have an open either under the rear fender,
or inside the rocker (yes the early cars ran the wiring harness inside the
rocker). Also you can get a good look at the bulb holder contacts, and maybe give
them a quick clean. This should only take a few minutes to test, and it might
end up giving you a good connection for both power to and ground of the
lights. This isn't rocket science, you're only working with 2 wires and a ground,
and if you seperate the 2 gray's, then you're only working with 1 wire and a
ground. I hope this helps.
