1971 right side driving lights not working

[Sam Bruni]

Hello. I'm still working through an electrical gremlin for my 1971 911 T. My steel braided fuel cell vent line hit my top couple of fuses and my lights have not been happy ever since. I replaced the blinker solenoid, light switch, and emergency flasher switch. That fixed most my issues. Now I'm still trying to get driving lights front/back right side to come back on.

Using the wiring diagram provided by pelican for the 1971, I traced the driver side driving lights to the fuse panel. The light switch terminal for sending the + current to the fuse panel works, but no current goes through the wire itself. The fuse is good, but regardless there is no current on either side of the fuse. On the wiring diagram it appears that the wires go directly to the blinkers switch and to the fuse panel. But when I look under the dash the wires go up to the blinker first so it's hard to tell if there is line that goes directly to the fuse, but assume the digram is correct and that is what happens. So I assume I either need to replace the blinker switch or maybe it is a bad ground? It affects the front and back driving lights and I've read grounds at the rear tail light cause problems but I can't seem to see an issue with grounds.

I checked the wire for the trunk light which I know longer use and read this caused problems with some SC owners, but it's not an issue on mine from what I can tell.

Any advice would be helpful. The wiring doesn't seem that complex especially since there is no current making it's way to the fuse from the light switch terminal.

Alright, so it was a bad day when I realized I was looking at the wrong fuse. I'm running a large fuel cell so it's hard to get my hands and even my eyes down there (that's my excuse) so yea it was a blown fuse. Now that I replaced the fuse, the lights work but now no blinkers and the left back driving light is out now.

Any idea why the blinker's would stop working? I have a new blinker switch and it works fine (blinks fast on the right side, regular speed on the left side) when the fuse is taken out.
