I am in need of a place to get wiring for the tail light on a 94 Dodge Ram 2500. The tail lights do not work, and are the only thing that don't work.
Any help would be nice, Thanks

Do the license plate lights work? Everything is tied together coming from the headlamp switch. I've got a later 2nd gen diagram so the color may be off, but it shows the power coming from a black wire with a yellow stripe.

I forget to mention that it has a flatbed.. Need to know where to start looking for power. Thanks

Maybe the easiest place to start looking is to pull the headlight switch and pop the connector off to see if it melted. Wouldn't be the first.

You think so even if every thing working except the tail lights

Here is some of the info of a 95, should be the same. There is more but to post it all would be huge.

I can highly recommend getting a factory service manual on CD, from genos Garage, 35 bucks here, saves your bacon many times over.

Thank you very much for the diagrams. What all does the service manual include, does in include engine repair specs and other such things.

So I checked the headlight switch and that is not to the problem. It's not melted and I put a jumper wire to the black with yellow tracer and all the front marker lights still work but still no taillights. I looked at the above diagrams but there is no location of the connectors, and was wondering where they might be.

Thanks

There aren't that many connections. The harness comes out of the firewall and down along the left frame rail.
Pull a rear bulb and check at the connector. Check continuity of the ground to the chassis, then see if you have 12 volts. One is missing and go from there.

Already put a jumper wire to the back and the lights work then so like have to find so time to chase wires

Only connections in the rear are each light inside the frame and a ground.
Next connection should be in the cab. That's why I suggested start in back. See what's there or not there inside the bulb socket.

Would it be in the cab or like bulkhead connector going through the fire wall

Everything that a factory Chrysler tech could need. It is VERY detailed. For instance, the 95 manual is 1,754 pages.

Saved my bacon time after time, especially with the diesel, way too many mechanics who haven't a clue.
