It's like trying to herd cats. Fix one electrical problem then another one appears, fix that then it works but only for a while, then might work again later! The problem is the three pressure contacts in the trunk for the lights on the plate and parking along with instrument lights. Wiring all has connectivity and plate lights work when the 3 pins are jump wired simultaneously but fails to work when the trunk lid is closed.
Already checked each one of the pins by applying a small glob of dielectric grease and then closing the trunk lid to see that they had made contact with the three opposing contacts inside the trunk. Have not even gotten to the third brake light on the lid yet, as that also appears to be wired fine, but won't work either. I am lost for ideas and dumbfounded by what I am seeing, even with the help of Jim's superb wiring diagrams. Anyone have suggestions?
