Turn signal issues
I have had a leaky windsheild for a few years it has not been an issue because I do not drive my car in the rain however somtimes you get caught in rain and when I wash my car water trickles down and comes out at the knee boulsters (in other words it would drip on your ankles). I think a wire or connection has developed some corrosion from the moisture and my problem is I cant figure out which wire goes to the passenger side rear tail light. I have replaced the rear light bulbs and checked the front bulbs and does anyone know what ground is located inside the rear bumper (remove passennger side tail lights and it is just in and to the right) ?

Help us out a little!!!!!! Brake lights work? Tail lights work? Emergency Flasher lights work?

Also, why would you let your car leak for "a few years?"

Yes it all works except the turn signal and the front flikkers rapidly. I know it was stupid it just seemed harmless a little dribble of water on the rubber part of the floor mat. one of those things when you are enjoying it you are not thinking of it.

Are you sure its not just a burned out bulb? Rapid flashing of the indicator on the IPC is the clue to change a bulb
I've attached both wiring diagrams
The color code for the stop/tail wiring is brown
The power antenna on the Vert grounds at that point. It's G302. As you can see though, the stop tails ground at G401

If both right rear tail lamps are flashing, with the emergency flashers on, and don't flash with the right Turn Signal on, you're probably going to find a bad Turn Signal Switch.

Circuit #19, Dk Green wire feeds the right rear Signal Lamps.

I had wondered about a turn signal switch but was thrown off track because it seemed to act up during rain however it seems to be completely shot now. Before it was intermintent. I plan to pursue the turnsignal switch now.
Thank you guys for all of the help I will copy these scamatics and hang on to them if I need them. This is just not my specialty therefore I'm unsure about anything I do, so I much appreciate your time and input.
Thanks again!
