Still looking for brake lights and turn signals... HELP!

Six pack:

I checked the fuses and they are good but once in a while, when I am trying to diagnose the problem the tail lite fuse will pop. I was wondering why I found a box of fuses in the glove box. Anyhow, I have a direct ground short somewhere along the circuit. Electrical work is not one of my best areas, the only other thing I noticed that it is an original 4 spd
car and under the hood I found the automatic transmission column linkage attached to the steering column! I bought the car from the original owner pink slip and all, but they passed away before I could find out if the column was ever changed. :scratch:
