Rear taillights not working and other electrical problems

[Shoooter]

I cleaned the dimmer switch and made sure all the grounds on the dash were cleaned. Also cleaned the plug for the radio as suggested and now I have all my illuminated lights working.  I also have power to all side marker lights, hazards and turn signal.

Reverse lights are still not working . No power to number 15 at the bulk head wiring.  Power to the pink and black wire at the kick panel with the headlight switch on

I was able to use a jumper and get the drivers side reverse light to come on other than that I have nothing. 

From earlier in the thread..... What did you jumper here?

Reverse light bulkhead connections are #7 & #8, keyed power from fuse panel is on #8.

At that point I just used a jumper to ground it to eliminate if the housing was grounded or not.

I took the advice of one of the members here and used dielectric grease on the harness on the engine side and I guess I didn't click it back in enough. 

I took out all the bulb sockets from the tail lights and cleaned everything up and had one bad connector on the rear harness heading to the back. once fixed I was able to make the reverse lights and everything work.

So thanks to everyone's help here I was able to solve all my electrical problems. My illumination lights work, tail lights and reverse lights.

I will need to send out my park lamps to Mike to have them done but I was able to get them to worn for now even with the socket being index wrong. I went to the parts store and got a set of 1157na longer life Philips lights and they have a oval contacts on the bottom and was enough for the lights to make contact and work. I will get my inspection then send them out after.

This site is amazing and thank you again to everyone that was willing to help on this. I could not have done it without all of you
