No idea on that model but when I had to extent my wiring when I put mini aps on my 08 all the wiring came to a central spot where they all connected. Follow the wiring check all your connections.

More then likely a bad ground, you should be on the right track. If not ground or broken wire might be in the ignition switch.

Start with the basics, bulbs, connections, grounds, conuniutity from switches to the bulbs, power at the connectors, seeing the age i would check the resistance in the wiring also could have some corrosion issues. At least it should be an easy system no ecms or anything.

Signal switches are usually the culprit, it was my issue on my 2000 Magna that I also have. Fairly easy fix, tail light should be simple to find if you found the signal problem this fast. Nice job Dennis
