tail light issues ! please help !

A quick set up.... I had my 82 blazer repainted and this weekend I was putting some things back on like the side mirrors and brand new parking lights and tail lights....... Here's the problem, I put all new bulbs in the 6 tail light assemblies as well as the two amber bulbs in the front bumper. I had all 4 passenger lights working properly ( running lights, blinkers, back ups both front and rear) and 3 of the 4 on the drivers side because I dropped one and it broke ( 1156 ) so I go out and buy another bulb and figure all I have to do is come back home and put it in and all 8 will then work............. not so! Now I have only the two big bulbs on the passenger side in the back working and none of the drivers side working. I'm so frustrated! Any ideas what it may be? Any pics of an 82 fuse block and which fuse is which? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance,

RIZ

Re: tail light issues ! please help !

Did you remember to connect the ground wire, using a serrated washer to get a good ground?

Without it, some of your lights might be grounding ~through~ other lights.
