I have a 95 YJ, I bought it about 18 years ago for me. My daughter and son were born and it took a back burner to other priorities. (Damn kids šŸ™ƒ)
Fast forward to today, my son is 16 and will need a car for school and football practice.
I built a 305, AX15 with Novak adaptor kit, NP231 SYE, Dana 30/35 and SOA.
I have all the gauges working, no issue there.

The only light working was left/front turn signal and left/front hazards. No brake lights, right/ front, right/rear or left/rear turn signals were working. Traced it to the wht/tan wire at steering column turn signal connection. Had power at input of connector, no power to turn signal side. Turns out it was as a bad terminal not making contact and not allowing 12vcd through. Fixed terminal, now everything works.

Hope this,helps someone else, Steve.

I found a great breakdown and interpretation of the schematics on yo*t*be. Helped me find my issue.

It was, pin #1 wht/tan did not have contact with the tan wire at the turn signal connector on the steering column. The terminals had recessed into the connectors over time. Used a small screwdriver to push both male and female brass terminals deeper into the plastic connectors to make contact.

This was driving me nuts, I just followed the voltage path until I found the issue.

The video was a great help for me. Thanks to KD's garage.
