    Turn signals, brake lights, flashers, headlights, all work but no taillights. Bulbs are good. Could this problem be a bad headlight switch? Any help is appreciated.Thanks in advance.
     
  2. have you taken a test light and seen if there is power to them? if not , keep following the wires until you find power

    It could be a bad switch , or no power is a possibility. Also it could be a bad ground in the taillight housing. do you have stoplights?
     
  4. NOT trying to be a smart ass but... Dual or single filament bulbs? An 1156 single will fit in an 1157 dual element socket.

    Check for power on the taillight wire. Also check you brake light switch to make sure the wires on not crossed and that you have power at the switch..

    Are they LEDs?

  7. If it's the Porsche, good luck. If it is the '32 Ford and the wiring is stock it could be the headlight switch as the power goes through there to the tail light.

    I found the problem. It was a mislabeled fuse. Thanks for all the feedback. It was the 32 not the GT2 RS.
