Thanks for the ideas. I can't recall exactly when the fuse blew. I may start by replacing the headlight switch, as it appears to be original and you can hear the reostat make a crunching sound when turning the knob of the headlight switch, in addition to seeing the white circular part of the...

OK. I checked the misc fuse and the side circled with 'red' is getting 12 volts. The side circled in yellow has nothing. I checked the fuse and it seemed to be shorted out. I replaced it and the new fuse blew. Which wires should I be chasing on that side of the circuit?

I connected the battery, turned on the headlights and checked each fuse with a test light. The only fuse that didn't have power at each end was the fuse circled. In addition, the cigarette lighter was indeed in the car. I removed the three screws that held it in-place and found the...

Thanks for that photo. I'll look for that connector and wires, along with the power at the cigar lighter fuse. Appreciate it, as this may likely be were my issue lies..

I do not have dash illumination and the cigarette lighter is not installed. What does the doubled-up cigarette lighter connector look like and what colored wires connect to it? I will check power at both sides of the cigar fuse and report back.

When I say running lights, I'm referring to the rear tail lights and the front amber turn signal lights coming on when the headlights are on. The side marker lights were blocked off at the fenders on this car - someone welded plates where the side marker lights go on the fenders. Any other...

I've fixed all of the lights on this car with the exception of the running lights. The flashers, turn signal and brake lights all work, but when I turn on the headlights, the running lights in the front and rear don't work at all. Does anyone know where the most likely place is to check to...

Just to follow-up regarding the use of standard 8-32 1-1/4" long screws - each tail light uses 8 screws to hold it to the tail light housing - the standard head of the screw works well in 4 positions of each tail light - in order to use the same 8-32 1-1/4" long screws in the other 4 positions...

Ron, thanks for the update. I also stuck a 1-1/2" long 8-32 screw through all 8 holes on one of the tail light lenses and had the same experience. I went ahead and picked up 16 1-1/2" long 8-32 screws and will try to carefully install the two tail light lenses on the car as time permits and...

Ron, thanks. Appreciate it!

Thank you, Ron! Really appreciate the info. One last question - are all of the screws the same length? In looking at the MegaParts kit someone posted earlier, it appeared that half of the screws might be a different length.

I'd really like to try to find out what the length and the screw pitch is of those screws, as I'd really be suprised if they are "special" screws, based on the photo from the earlier post. Hopefully, someone will chime in on this that has these screws on their car. One of the lenses is already...

Thanks. That's getting there. Looks like those are pretty basic screws and there appears to be two different lengths. Does anyone know what the thread pitch and lengths are of the two different screws? If so, I should be able to source these locally...

Unfortunately, those aren't the correct screws needed to mount the 1971 Roadrunner tail light lenses, which are quite different from the 1968 setup. There are 16 screws needed to affix the two tail light lenses to the car. Does anyone have an example of the type of screw (length and thread...

I'm working on a 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner and realized that I don't have the 16 screws needed to mount the rear tail lights lenses onto the car. Does anyone have an example of the type of screw (length and thread type/size) that's needed to mount the rear tail light lens?

Just FYI, this may help others. I think I may have found the issue. The driver's side front turn signal seemed to flash very dimly (as well as the right rear turn signal bulbs), so I decided to check the wiring going to the front turn signal. When I jiggled the front driver's side turn signal...

Well, finally had some time recently and re-connected all if the cut wires tail light wires. Soldered each one back together and each one with heat shrink tubing. The wires were likely broken when someone removed the rear seat and somehow, the tail light harness got caught up on the seat...

Thanks for all of the helpful replies. I'll use 18 gauge wire to repair the existing harness and keep in mind the option that a new harness is available for the car.

Thanks to all that provided ideas regarding the "no tail light" issues I had on the 1971 Road Runner that I'm working on from thread - 1971 Plymouth Road Runner - No tail, turn, brake, flasher lights in the rear - most logical things to check? As noted in the photo, I'm going to have to extend...

Just FYI, I believe I may have found the issue with the tail lights, along with the front turn signal lights staying on when the battery is connected. Traced the wiring going back to the tail lights from the driver's side kick panel. Seemed that I had current showing up in the connector at the...
