<VV> no lights

[J R Read_HML]

Hmmmm..... NOW that I actually looked at the book, it appears that the tail, 
stop, and dome lights are all on the same fuse.  The dome light works, 
right?  So, likely the problem is elsewhere.  Have you checked the main 
connector in the engine compartment for corrosion?  Sounds like that would 
have been done when the new harass (an lclc term) was installed.  So, has 
the stop switch gone out of adjustment AND the tail lights lost their ground 
all at the same time?  Strange things happen on old cars.

Later, JR
