So it gets power when the lights are on but it won't light the bulb?Sounds like maybe you should go back to where the harness was spliced/connected to check there to make sure its got a good connection without any bleed through from the other wires.Also try checking the power at the plug with a test light on the hot and the ground of the housing.

I've traced the power all the way down. Its definitely getting there without any issues.

try running a seperate ground wire from the tailight housing to a new ground bolt

I think I will try this. This is something I have yet to try.

Did the harness replacement include the socket the bulb fits in to? I had similar issue with my 66 cuda, the spring loaded contacts in the socket were worn, and were not contacting the bulb properly.

Yep, its the tail light complete from the lens all the way to the pigtails that connect it into the harness for reverse lamp and all that good stuff. I checked that out on my old taillight and after checking everything minus a ground to the housing, I figured it had to be the socket. So I replaced the whole assembly ($25 with new lens and all). But I do know what you are talking about. I fixed that issue on my Dart when I had it.

You don't have any of these #*&%$@@ things in the harness do ya?

Nope Del. I mostly use wire shrink and butt splices. Even though I realize its not 100% proper, I don't have a sautering iron and its better than a shadetree would do.
