[TR] electrical issue

[DAVID MASSEY]

It could be the paint is too good and your light fixtures are not being grounded.  Try exposing some bare sheetmetal where they mount up.

Yes – same circuit.  But I’d also expect the front side lights / running lights not to be working and possibly the headlights too.
 
  
 
Get under the dash and check the wires in and out of the light switch.

I have a '62 TR 3B. I recently had it painted. The painter took it apart to paint (fenders, doors, trunk, etc.). After bringing it home, I discovered that the tail lights and dash lights were not working. All other electrical items are working.

Everything was working before the paint job.
 
  
 
Thanks in advance for any help,
