89-97 clearance lights and tail lights
Friday, I finished installation of the lights in my soon-to-be toad,
and I noticed that one of the clearance lights was out. Today, I removed the bulb and it tests good ... but the socket is heavily rusted (and therefore is probably the problem). I can clean the socket and most likely get it working again, but it looks like the kind of thing that will quickly corrode again. Checking the archives of the list, there are quite a few discussions about clearance lights, but I didn't see any that specifically referred to the 89-97 WB year models (several references to pre '88). So, has anybody identified directly replacements (preferably with LEDs) for the slightly newer WL coaches? I'll have to climb the ladder tomorrow and get some measurements -- but I'd hate to spend the time if the question has already been answered. Thanks. Tail Lights ======= My second problem is the tail lights are "out" on the coach. The brake lights work, but when the headlights and clearance lights are on the tail lights don't have power. The tail lights on the -TOAD- are on. The existing plug for the toad/trailer was used, but new wires were run for the lube-pump warning light. I'm still looking through the wiring diagrams (I have a huge pile of them) trying to identify the circuits. If anybody knows what fuses and/or relays control the tail lights (on a '95 -- I presume an 89-96 would be the same) I'd sure appreciate a hint. Since the tail lights on the toad work, is it a good idea to tap into the wire to the plug (I'm not sure where it is sourced) to power the tail lights? Comments appreciated.
