87 300SDL Left Tail Light Not Working
The left tail light on my 87 300SDL is not working. Fuse is good and has 12 volts at both sides of the fuse.
After inspecting the tail light fixture itself and finding nothing wrong I checked the plug that plugs into the fixture and found the two pins (6 and 8) for the tail light bulbs are only reading about 1.5 volts. Ground side is fine. I'm not sure where the wire goes between the fuse and the fixture to look for the problem. Any ideas or similar experiences? Thanks!

Give the Bulb Indicator module in the fusebox a good hard slap. It'll be the longest module next to the brake booster. If you have bad solder joints in there, it'll prevent operation of the lamp. A good hard whack should make contact long enough to diagnose it as the problem.
