I am having problems with my tailights. All other lights work great except for my tailights. I have checked the fuses as well as the bulbs. Any ideas?
Also where can I find a detailed wiring diagram? My haynes book doesnt include the tailights in the diagram.

I recently had a similar problem with my 89 Probe GT.
The power for some of the exterior lights goes through the headlight switch. In my case, water had gotten into the tail light and shorted out a bulb, somehow the short traveled up to the switch where it fried the wires feeding power to the switch.
I had to tear into the console and splice in a new plug, good as new now.
