I patched in 4 wires, the black and yellow for running lights, green and orange for left turn stop, brown and red for right turn stop, and purple black for reverse.

I also had a strange fuse incident in the under hood fuse box, one of the twenties looked off but it wasn't blown, I took it apart and one of the leads came off (??) so I tore it apart and soldered it back together.

Just verified all rear lights work (didn't try reverse as it's on a hill) including license plate light.

Emergency flashers, left/right turn, stop, running. All good!

Gonna replace all the external bulbs, but this means my van is now road worthy because I am paying insurance on it. Feels good cos I just moved and have had to rely on others for transportation.

Great news! I'm glad you got all the lights working. If you've ever drove behind someone who's lights are out, it's very dangerous.

Yes, I recall realizing one day (or night ??) that the tail lights and brake lights didn't work. I recalled being in a form of horror, "how long were these out? People didn't know if I was stopping, turning, slowing down, or even lit up at night??!"

They is about when I parked it and began driving my 01 Dodge Ram Van 1500, which is a great van and gave me gears of trouble free transportation.

But, now that is resolved (I cleaned each socket with a Dremel and used dielectric grease for each bulb, and soldered an LED bulb for the license plate light)
