Tail light
hey guys,
87 auto. While repairing rear side light (copper piece not touching bulb) I touched bulb & copper piece at same time with screwdriver & shorted something out. Now rear tail light & side light is out. Only on drivers side. Looked at fuse chart & didn't see tail light fuses. Where should I look. What do you think?

For how long did this inadvertent contact happen? Momentarily, I'm guessing? ANy longer and you might need to look at wiring - especially if the fuse did not blow, but that's pretty unlikely.
I would replace the fuses with known good ones - actually, new fuses would be better, and not ones from Harbor Freight. Get some good fuses. I've seen some fuses that look good but are actually blown.
