tail light issues

[Paraglider]

Yahoo!!! With your guys' help and a little bit of logic, I thought late last night that since the PO used bullet connectors, connecting the green coming out of the dash to the black and the red to the green going into the connector, I should try disconnecting the black and red wires from their green counterparts and connect them directly together. It worked. The tail lights work and the license plate lights work, so everything in the rear is working (although I still haven't had someone get out to see if the back-up lights work but that's less impt. to me in general. I will see, though). I realize there shouldn't be any bullet connector at all but at least they work. Now those black and red wires that aren't going anywhere REALLY aren't going anywhere!
Still don't know why the PO cut the fuel sender yellow and red wire from the six-pin connector and by-passed it, but at least the fuel gauge works.
I've asked Phil of AUStoUSA to give me the contact info of the PO but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I figured I'd ask the PO some questions about the whys.
This is a GOOD morning!!

Could either of you send me a picture of what the wiring is supposed to look like coming out of the dash and going to the six-pin connector and the other wires going elsewhere so I know how it's supposed to be? I assume the BJ40 (Rudi's) would be most similar but maybe the FJ40 is also the same. Thanks, and thanks for hanging in with me to get it to this point.

I can't help you with that. Better to start a new topic and ask for specific HJ47 and the year. Also mention LHD or RHD because the Aussies have a mirrored set up.
Reason is that the glow circuit changed somewhere around the 80's and depending on the market, so you'll see a different harness and wiring.

ok, thanks! I have started to uncouple wires the PO had clamped together and take out the ones that don't go to anything and follow them to their end as best I can. He's got 3 wires coming into the glove box that aren't attached to anything, one with a connector and the other two with tape over them--just as an example.
