Default Issues with Tail lights/Brake

Hey guys looking for some help! I have had no issues before

Recently my tail lights,brake light and running lights will not go on. I have checked all the Fuses under the dash as well as the bulbs. Everything looks ok. I had also noticed that my window wont work.

My headlight, interior lights and side running lights go on. Any help would be great

Thanks

Default Vacume System 1975 Stingray

All if these Hoses are driving me nuts! Im having issues with my head lights opening and closing, also the air controls on the Dash. The blower kicks on but it only comes out very slow and the heat will not come in. I had felt the Water hoes and it seems like its working. Any help would be great.

Thank you

sounds like a couple of issues at the same time, the first thing we need is the year of the car? then we will recommend getting an assembly manual for your car, it will help you figure out all the hoses and wires.

that said, where are you located? you may be able to find someone local to you that can help with some of the issues, maybe even a forum member thats willing to lend a hand

have you tested for voltage at the bulb sockets??? Usually it is bad grounds that cause these lights not to work.

The window could be a bad switch or motor or ground.
