Follow up: 89-97 clearance lights and tail lights
Earlier I wrote on the above topic. Here's the latest:

Clearance light: corroded socket. A little sand paper and it's now
back in operation. Not a very long-term solution, however. These are
the Peterson M126A lights (on the side of the coach). I've looked at
a bunch of LED models, but none are direct replacements. I can still
get the M126A model with a regular bulb. From the photos, it appears
to be an improved design that better protects the socket from
corrosion. Does anybody know of an LED model that's a direct
replacement for the Peterson M126A clearance lights?

Tail lights: No solution yet.
In testing today, I disconnected the connector for all the rear
lights and powered them with a small 12 v battery that I had
available. All lights operated as expected.

Testing the bus-side connector with the volt meter, I get 12.6 (or
so) volts for the turn signals, brake lights, back up lights, and
stop lights. I get 0.1 volt for the tail lights.

In front, I (think) I found the correct fuse. I had 12.6 volts at the
fuse.
I found (I'm sure) the terminal where the tail light wire heads for
the back of the bus. I had 0.1 volt on the terminal. (Head lights, a
couple of positions over from the tail lights had 12.6 volts.)

So, the problem is somewhere between the fuse and the terminal ... a
distance of six inches.

I can't seem to locate the relay -- and I suspect that there is one.
(More sweating over the wiring diagram tomorrow.)

Any ideas?
