Default rewire help

hi all need some help did a rewire on my 83 K5 most everything is working except the running lights in the rear end. i used the EZ 21 circuit 18 fuse harness this is my first rewire and i cant seem to figure out what the problem is in the tail section. possibly wired the head light switch wrong any help or thoughts would be appreciated. hopefully somebody has some experience with this harness thanks in advance.

I dont know anything about K5. I dont know anything about modder wiring harnesses.
I do know that you seem to be asking only those who use the EZ 21 harness on 80 series K5's to help you out.

If it were ME.. I would be providing info on what 'running lights' are supposed to do as opposed to the tail light system. I infer that they arent coming on at all.
Lighting systems are, after all pretty elementary, but minus basic facts even those who have solved that sort of problems arent likely to understand what you want to know.

If you wait a couple days though I'm sure someone who's done the exact same project will come on here..

Yeah...

Now I'm motivated to become more diligent in my own use of punctuation. I do tend to get sloppy sometimes.

I'm worn out just translating. Try 'bullet point' format.

any thoughts on what would make turn signals stay solid when turned on instead of flashing like they should.
