Hello All,

Just bought a 65 Jetstat and the taillights don't work. The rear signal lights work fine, but the stop and and tail lights do not. The guy I bought it from said it just started to blow fuses but I replaced the fuse and now they just don't work and the fuse seems fine.

I notice that when the lights are off there is 12 volts at the taillight and stop light fuses, but when I turn the lights on the voltage goes down to 0 for both the tail light and stop light fuses. Not sure if this is normal or not. When I jump from the battery to the flat wire strip on the floor the light come on, so I believe the problem lies at the fuse panel.

I am really stumped and any help would be appreciated.

I look forward to learning lots of stuff about my Jetstar on the forum!

Thanks

Greg.
