I guess so. I finally found the next connector up, and it's not getting any
power on the tan wire either. According to the Haynes manual, the next thing
up is a splice with one wire going off to the right rear turn signal, which
works fine. I'm really stumped now.

Thanks, that's what I did. The glue is drying now.

That's what I'm going to do next, but I'm going to get a quote on fixing the
darn thing too.

Well, you found the wire then. Pay real close attention to the connectors.
The ones that have died on my ZJ has very corroded out pins. One simply fell
apart in my hand. A quick trip to a local boat repair place got me some nice
watertight connectors.

Wiring repair is $$ just because of time and the fact they like to sell full
harnesses. For the price of the quote you would probably be able to buy the
service book and a good set of tools.

There's some relays in the left rear quarter panel with were very corroded,
replacing one fixed the problem. The others are cleaned up, and now
everything works. The Haynes wiring diagram is as useful as teats on a bull.
