Marker/Running Lights Problem
Ok guys, I'm having another issue with my new (to me) '87. Despite new bulbs and ALL the fuses being good, I have no running lights on the right side of the car. Nothing intermitent, nothing flashing, just plain nothing. My turn signals work, headlights work and the hazards come on, but no dice on the markers. Any suggestions? I need to get my inspection done this week and that would mean the lights need to work so I can pass!

According to the diagram in the my hand, you are looking at a burnt out section of the headlamp switch. The right and left sides are on a seperate circuit that gets it's signal from the switch independantly. If you are 100% sure that ALL of your marker lights (EDIT: bulbs) are good, it's prob the switch.
If it were grounds you would also have no headlamps as they share the same ground point. If you need some walk through help PM me and I'll shoot u my phone #.

Sorry it took me so long to get back on here...just crazy busy...
Well, I figured it out. When I put the front valence back on after replacing my radiator, I hooked up a side marker light and crossed the wires. When I did that, I blew the fuse which has previously been ok. I replaced the fuse, uncrossed the wires and boom...working lights. My car is getting inspected right now.
Thanks for the advice bro!
