Dave,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. As you suggested, I metered out t=
he green wires and found the one that was producing 12 volts. When I connec=
ted it to the one of the wires in the harness connected to the trans back u=
p lights, THEY WORKED!
The two remaining issuers are: no turn signals, period. Hazards only flash =
on he driver=E2=80=99s side. (Earlier I stated that I only had turn signals=
 on the drivers side, but I was mistaken). A new turn signal module and haz=
ard module should arrive this weekend. Please share any other thoughts as t=
o the cause(s) of these issues.
Thanks again for your help.

Can anyone help me sort out these issues?
