1985 toyota dolphin marker lights

[bigstar]

None of the marker lights on the front, back, and side of my toyota dolphin work. i did test one with a multimeter (full disclosure; first time ive ever used it.) but got nothing. also tried replacing it obviously, got nothing. where does the power come from? can anyone tell me where all the wiring for that leads to and from? i’m just not sure where to start. 

i appreciate any help, let me know if theres anything i can make more clear.

Do your running lights on the cab work? The coach marker lights run off the cab running lights

pretty sure they are wired in at the taillights

The rear ones may but the front ones wouldn’t be

i might have used the wrong words, i’m not sure of all the terms… by marker lights i mean the red and orange lights near the roof on the front and back of the vehicle. by the running lights on the cab do you mean the headlights? the headlights do work.

running lights are sometimes called parking lights. in the rear when the lights are on (park or headlights) the running lights work. in the front when in park light position, only the small lights in the bumper come on.    all are on one circuit, so if the fronts don't work because of a blown fuse for example the rears won't work either

Here is a thread describing how to fix clearance lights. The ones at the top of the camper.
