80 2wd "tailight control relay" location?
I just lost my taillights, brake lights, heater fan, etc., looked at a schematic and it looks like everything I lost comes off of the "taillight control relay".
I've been under the dash, engine compartment, kick panels...everywhere I can think to look and can't find that relay.
Anybody got an idea where it's hiding at?
Headlights, turn signals, wipers and hazards all work, fuses are good...but I have no power at the fuse box for tail, stop and heater.
Thanks!

light controll relay is for the headlamps ..
for the tail lamps it's not a relay ... but another fuse link ..
it's off the positive post on the battery there are 2 ... a single , and a double .. should be the double .. single fuse link is for the ignition .
if the're the factory fuse links ... you should just be able to give them a "tug" if they break there burnt (hence - the fuse) ..

Hey, thank you both for the replies. Appreciate the diagram and I will check those fusible links, also.
I found a Chilton's Manual (Part. No. 7035) that actually shows the taillight relay...it appears to be physically identical to the headlight relay (they are right next to each other), and is up under the dash, just to the right of the steering column, planning on messing with it today.
Does anyone know how to test a relay? I understand the theory of how a relay works but not sure on a test procedure.
