Front side marker lights not working

[Willy 1 2]

Hi everyone I am new here. Been lurking and reading information for awhile. Now I have a issue. Working on my 69 mk1 took the front end apart fenders off yanked the motor cleaned repainted the engine area and complete undercarriage. Replaced the area under where the battery sits. Anyway got it all back together and can't get the front sidemarker lights to work. No juice going to them. If it was a ground issue should there not still be juice to the light though they may not work due to poor ground? I do have head lights and signal lights. From the firewall to the markers is one continuous harness so it is not plugged together wrong. Any ideas what to check to remedy this.

Thanks

This would be so much easier if we could still post pictures on the site. The front turn signals and headlights share a ground with the front marker lights, so if those work then the front markers should also be grounded. The wire that powers the front markers is 14 black that comes from the light switch, connects at a plug with 984 brown, and goes to the firewall plug. That goes to a splice and branches to both of the front markers. If the rear side markers work, but you don't have power to the front markers, it is most likely a bad connection in the firewall plug (not easy to get to) or the splice that branches to both front markers (unlikely).

Just found out that on another site I visit when the option to post pics doesn't work, the site owner let the photo posting  option expire, and monies are due.

Mack1 Driver thanks for the reply. I was hoping it had nothing to do with the firewall plug. It does look almost impossible to get at. I will check the splice out before I try the plug.

Thanks again

You'd have to unwrap the tape, and there is a very low likelihood its the splice. The firewall plug is behind the fuse box and just loads of fun to get to.

Turned out it was the splice on both sides. Cured.

Thanks for the help
