No gauge light or rear running light was created by strobel5
Hello so I just got my rebuild back together and noticed that the gauge lights and rear taillight dont work. The brake light works. I tested the voltage of the red wire that runs to the fuse and there is nothing. I also test the ignition switch and the blue wire has no voltage. The red/blue and the brown wire shows continuity when I tested it at the ignition switch harness. Is there supposed to be continuity? Also the wires on the hazard switch broke from the solder, would that affect anything?

I make a habit of yearly replacing the glass tubed fuses, as vibration and current surges will affect their life.
