    My brake lights/rear turn signals recently stopped working. All other lights are still operable (headlights, front turn signals, front and rear running lihgts, license plate light). I've replaced fuses, bulbs, and stoplight switch. Running out of ideas!!! The car is a 1970 Maverick 2 door, straight 6-200 cu. in. All I can think of is to replace the wiring (ugghh). Any suggestions would be appriciated.
