REAR TAILIGHTS - 740 WAGON 700 1986

I CAN'T GET THE TOP RED (SINGLE FILAMENT) MARKER LIGHTS TO COME ON. CHECKED ALL FUSES AND BULBS, PLUS CONTACTS FOR GROUND AND HOT - BUT NOTHING. ANY IDEAS? I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT RUNNING A SECONDARY WIRE FROM THE BOTTOM MARKER LIGHT POST TO THE TOP IF NOTHING ELSE CAN BE FOUND.

The top lights are rear fog lights, not marker lights. The headlights must be on, and the rear fog switch next to the light switch.

Thanks Bob. I'll try that. I did see a fuse slot with
a fuse and i'll look for the switch. I have a "fog" switch on my '99 and
know that it intensifies a rear marker light when switched on. Hey you make
it easy. Thanks for your help. I am so thankful for the help on this network.
Many guys, such as yourself, are awesome.

I am running at 208K thus far.
Same transmission (auto), same alternator (to my knowledge), same engine - no
smoke yet. My power steering gets binding in the cold climate, but is fine
when warmer. My power booster needs replaced, but it is fine in the warmer
temps thus far.

I'll try to return a favor to another "brick head". LOL.
