If you have a test light you should be able to determine if the problem is in the 12v feed to the printed circuit board or in the board itself.

A test light connected to a good ground should respond to probing the wires (or the disconnected plug) when applying the brakes or turning on the clearance lights.

If the test lamp does not light then you know you have to establish the connection upstream. I assume you have cleaned all of the fuses in the fuse block?

The connection between the plug and the printed circuit board is a known problem area. If you have 12v to the plug can you get the lights to come on by wiggling the connector? If so cleaning up that area with a pencil eraser sometimes helps.

The connection between the bulb holders and the printed circuit sometimes responds to a pencil eraser as well.

When you turn the lights on to the parking position I assume you are not getting any bulbs to light on the driver's rear? Is the parking light on the driver's front lighting? They are both on fuse 15 in your 1990 240
