    Anywhoozle fast forward 2 months and I've got it running and driving but my taillights won't stay on. When I pull the switch they turn on for half a second then turn back off. Blinkers and break lights work. Bulbs don't look To be blown and all the fuses look good and are the correct amp. Everything else works on the car except the windows and power antenna but I'm assuming the motors shorted when they got wet. Wiring harness appears to be stock. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks

    Fixed. I swapped the bulbs from the left tail light to the right tail light and the right to the left, and now they work

          that really sucks man. i hope that harness dries out real good without further complications. i don't even know what is the first thing i'd do if that happened to me. good luck buddy.

            Thanks Man, I already got her running and driving, the only things not working is the gauge cluster (good excuse to finally buy a euro cluster). Windows (assuming the motors got fried in the water) and power antenna. Otherwise just have to drop the new carpet in and get the seats reupholstered and she's good as new. :up:
