HELP PLEASE!!! ive changed all bulbs in the front turn signlas, taillights, and reverse lights along with the sockets, and the fuses are still good but i have the following problems:

-the reverse lights do not work but used to
-the right taillight works but doesnt blink when the signal or brake is applied
-the left taillight doesnt light but only functions when the left turn signal and/or brake is applied. Basically, it does the opposite of the right taillight.
-lastly, the front parking lights dont work at all

any comments will be greatly appreciated, thanx.

Did you just put it back together after painting it? The left rear side symptoms are aboslutely those of "no ground" the rest, too probably. Maybe put some star washers under the nuts that hold the light assy's in, or scrape off the paint under one nut for each assembly

Sounds a lot like ground, or lack of, problems. Start with an ohmmeter or at least a cheap test probe with a bulb in it and verify that your getting power to the corresponding wires when you check them. Running lights on one circuit, turn/brake on the other, and back up lights on the third.Also make sure you didn’t disconnect, or connect the wrong wires when you were fooling with the fuel gauge…

I had the same type of craziness on my '67 convertilble. I replaced both flashers and all works normally now.
