Sounds like its time to start chasing voltage from the fuse block to the switches, brake and turn signal. You say you have no tail lights at all, even with the parking lights on? Do the head lights come on? Did you ground the head light switch?
Everything works except for the brake lights and the turn signals. All parking lights work except for drivers front side marker. That harness has and open on the brown wire of the side marker connector. I'll be ordering a new harness to fix that from M&H.

It almost sounds like two separate issues... the brake lights and the turn signals/flashers. You say the parking lights work so i am assuming that includes tail lights and all the marker lights, yeah? If so your bulb sockets are properly grounded but not getting the additional voltage for the second bulb filaments. I would diagnose one at a time, starting with the brake light switch. Find it and check for voltage on the input and output side of the switch. Oh and i recommend a test light which is quicker and easier to use than a voltmeter and will give you the results you need which are really just "voltage? yes or no". Electrical issues are normally fairly straightforward if you can follow wires and diagrams... follow the voltage starting at the fuse block and work down the line until you figure out where the disconnect is. Both the flashers and turn signals go through the turn signal switch in the column, which could be your culprit on that issue, especially considering the harnesses are new. I had an issue one time where the ignition key tumbler was loose and causing an intermittent short in the column. That was a bugger to find and fix but it was a matter of following the voltage.
Do you have a wiring diagram?
I have a wiring diagram. All of the side markers work except for the drivers side marker in the front. I diagnosed that to an open in the side marker harness and will order a new one. I do have a test light and a volt meter.

I have a multi-meter. I doubt the issue is at the lights themselves because all of them do not work.

Looking for ideas on how to troubleshoot an electrical issue. All new harnesses. Parking lights work. Brake lights and turn signals do not. Also four way flashers do not work. I did a conversion from columns shift to console while redoing the interior.

I used this this guy out of Arizona for the am/fm 8-track: http://www.barrys8trackrepair.com/.
Added blue tooth and USB plus full on refurbish.

I have an extra set of brackets for the compressor. Apparently while collecting parts to revive my load leveler system I bought two sets about three years apart. They are still new in box.

In week 2 of the season Kevin's dream is interrupted by a remake of Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke. Lions lose to the Packers in Green Bay.

Thanks again Monte family. I thought it might be there to secure the flasher from flopping around.
-
Can someone help me identify what this is and where it goes. I seem to recall it was used under the dash, drivers side. I may be wrong.

i used one of those cups to fix one of holes in the dash that had the original cup cut out. I also used a bit of JB Weld to secure it tightly to the dash.

Thanks - posted just yesterday with the same question. Ordered a set of them - they seem to be the right size base on stud thickness which I gauged to be approx 1/8 inch. Are these used on the trunk lock emblem too? Reason I ask is I got a new emblem and it came with nuts instead - which would be a b**ch to use with the trunk lock and latch already in place.
-
Correct - Zinc plated. Just dropped mine off for polishing - inserts and outer case (for rear seat area).

AMK. Bought interior and exterior kits. I'll have lots of leftover nuts and bolts when all is said and done!

Got mine from the parts place - SU6472Z. Painted them. They look great.

Do barrel nuts hold the Monte Carlo emblems that are behind the quarter windows on the vinyl top? Re chromed and then painted - ready to go back on. Here's a picture of one of them.

Here's a shot of the installed window switch. Fun times taking back seat and all side panels back off.

Perfect! thanks.

As part of the kit, the cardboard is also replaced. I have a general idea of where it goes now so I should be good. Got to take the seat back out so doing it later this week.
-
Those panels are different. Maybe because mine is a 71. I'm not switching from crank window to power window. I had the panels recovered and they didn't mark the spot where the switch goes. But I'll see if I can use that opening as a reference to cut the hole for the switch. Thanks.
-
Can someone provide me with the location on the rear quarter window panel (the panel below the rear window and above the rear ash tray) where the power window switch goes? I've got one picture but it is not of the entire quarter window panel so can't determine exact location.
-
Thanks for the links to the manuals. I will check out these two bulb types to see which I prefer.
-
M&H sent me a new connector to replace the clear connector that had the correct design to match the courtesy light harness. Popped the clear one off and stuck the new on. Problem solved. Next issue - what is the part number of the bulb that goes in this courtesy light harness from painless (I called them - they are closed today). It looks to be an 1156 style bulb, but shorter in height.

Paul and MCFan, thanks for your help! I figured that is what Paul was suggesting but just wanted to confirm. I will try to not have to cut off any of the connectors and see what is available at the local Auto Zone. McFan thanks for posting the pictures.

Proper type of bulbs used and both filaments are intact.
