Hi Bob,

Just wanted to thank you for all the help found the problem on the 88 240 with new tail light assemblies, it was the new bulb socket! after checking the main connector that connects to the circuit board found nothing wrong, I cleaned and re-installed and problem remained no passinger break light. so I decided to get the multi meter out and check voltage at the bulb socket on the circuit board, had 12v there so the wife said why don't you put the old white bulb socket in and see if it works (surely a brand new assembly could'nt have a bad part!!!) all lights work with old bulb socket in new assembly. again thanks for all the help


ps. the back up lights still come on and stay on I'll have to keep looking on that one.
