Check the ground from bed to the frame on driver side rear. You may want add another fresh ground back there. Been thru that on 2 of my 86ers

Cost me $97 first time for no brake lights in daylight hours & never had a clue until Cop pulled me over. Both of mine were repaired with extra ground after I got home.

I had this happen. It actually was the light switch in the dash. It had partially melted. For some reason they carry the full load of the lights and it is common for them to go out. That is where I would start first.

I got lucky he just gave me a warning but I'm going to pull it in the garage this afternoon and look at it I would have last night but it was pretty late when I got home
