Tail and Parking Lights Not working?

Dandy. Happy to hear it's solved and you're ready to buzz off into the sunset!

I'm looking for an '88 Grand Caravan with 15" wheels. I had one since new, but it's so rusty now, the carpet is the only thing holding the front and rear together. I used it for 15 years to drag around a tandem-axle enclosed trailer that's bigger and heavier than the van. I take it 55 miles to the Iola, WI Old Car Show swap meet where I repair and sell car radios. Going down a long steep hill, I couldn't hit 70 mph because of the wind resistance. When these came with factory 15" wheels, they also came with optional bigger brakes. I never hooked up or needed the trailer brakes.

Also, '88 was the last year before they came out with the computer-controlled 4-speed transmission. I have an '89. A '94, and a '95 with that transmission, but those would explode before I got to the end of my driveway if I tried to pull the trailer. I'm starting to see these vans on tv shows occasionally. At this point I'd even be happy with a rust-free body. Whatever I come up with is going to be stored indoors for the winter, and will have collector plates on it.

The brake light and signals work from the same element in the bulb. Try this. Remove the bulbs from the light sockets. Turn the lights on and hit the brakes. Let me know if the fuse still blows.
