OK folks, electrical stuff is not my forte. Would someone be so kind as to give me a "What to do when your tailights are out for dummies" checklist.It would be most appreciated as I plan on driving my truck up to Winchester next weekend about 4 hours away. Oh yeah, I have a '63.
Thanks,
Pete

The first 3 things to check are grounds, grounds and grounds. Make sure the socket is grounded to the bed. Make sure the bed is grounded to the frame. Make sure the frame is grounded to the battery.

If grounds are good, check fuses, check for frayed wires under truck along frame rails and at rear end. You might also check for poor splices from po.
