Put the battery in the car for the first time.Blinker and brake lights work in the back but running lights don't Any suggestions? New bulbs but was wondering if they run off of a different harness.Or does the car have to run?

Running lites?
Do you mean tailites?
They are on a diferent circut, possible fuse bad?
headlite switch connected?
There is only one harness to the rear, it covers all lites.

Headlights worked good so guess I'll check all fuses and bulbs one more time.

I'm sure you know to check the fuses with a test lite as the pesky little glass fuses can sometimes melt off behind the metal end cap and not be visible.

Hi,
can't forget to make sure any and all plugs are clean and corrosion free.
