Help! Burnt out lights on stepson's POS 240 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Robo Lobo on  Thu Nov 1 16:58 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi everyone. I myself own a 96 850 so I usually lurk over on the FWD side, but my stepson recently bought a 84 240 wagon that's seen better days. I need some help on burnt out lights issues, in order to keep him from getting pulled over and thrown in jail (he has warrants). Anyway, here is what I saw tonight:

1) Right rear turn signal out, front left flashes fast (no doubt telling me about the rear, right?)

2) Left brake light out

3) The left reverse light flickers intermittently when the car is put in reverse but is pretty much out completely. The right side reverse is out completely.

I don't have a manual so maybe someone here can provide bulb numbers. But if it's not the bulbs (my stepson says he tried that but I'll verify), any other ideas. Fuses? If so, where is the darn fusebox? A friend also said I should tweak with the bulb holders as they melt sometimes and get a bit sketchy. Any other ideas out there? As much as I like my terrific mechanic I don't want to pay for stuff I can do myself.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
