Hello,
Anyone know of a link to a wiring diagram I can view?
i've been losing my taillight, running lights and instrument lights intermittently (all at the same time).
Thanks.

here i looked and found it http://suraklyn.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1180474659 click on the link and it will take you to the thread with a link to the diagram.

Sounds like a loose fuse or the wires to/from it. They are all on the same circuit. See if there is any corrosion on the fuse clips or connectors as well.

I would check your fuses, also. I had to replace that very fuse before it would act right.
Everything was fine until I decided to do some maintenance and clean the contacts on the fuses.
Then I sandpapered that fuse and used dialectric grease, but it just would not give me consistancy.
One day on a trip I found myself in a dealership, so I bought a couple of fuses. I put one in, and my taillight has be working ever since!

Problem solved. I went through all my wiring a couple of weeks ago, cleaned contacts and applied dialectric grease where I could. I didn't reconnect the headlight connector tight enough, to that small secondary bulb. And I finally thought to look in this location while at a rest stop in Nevada a couple of days ago. It was one of those "Hey, I haven't checked xxxx yet!" moments while my brain was focusing on something else entirely different (lunch).
I'll keep the links to the diagrams for the future, thanks everybody.

The +12v connection to your running light was causing this? :o
That sounds weird. Unless it was shorting to ground....maybe...
