found ground wires two on front of radiator mount, cleaned them and everything is working now.
This may sound like a less than brilliant mistake but it didn’t occur to me right away. Left turn signal and left brake light didn’t work, So I removed plastic light panel Attached to trunk lid and replaced all the bulbs. That fixed a bulb that was out. But still no left turn signal and no lest brake light. then I studied right turn signal and brake light... Duh blinking going on in A separate far right light fixture, So.. looked around inside trunk and realized there is a separate far left brake turn light fixture. Removed fR left light fixture that is attached to the car body, not the trunk lid. Eureka bad turn signal, brake light is in here! Replaced this bulb and now everything works... Total of about 14 bulbs in all the tail light fixtures, I’ll bet I’m not the first one to not figure out what is wrong right awAy.. Ha ha ha!
