re: rear lights.
I'd double-check that bulb. The turn signal and brake light use the same filament (in the dual-filament bulb), so I'd be willing to bet it's looking good when it's really not. Hook up a multimeter to it and check for continuity across the filament, or replace it with a known good bulb.
If the bulb does check out, then make sure the bulb socket is clean, and then start following that wire up to see where it's broken.

also on this model the light housing is the ground. Double check your grounds if all else checks out. you may need to tighten the big screws holding the housing in.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
