taillights and stuff dont work

im about to buy a 91 TII and the guy says the taillights,seatbelts, and radio dont work. i was just wondering if it could be just a fuse or something all the way to the ECU. sense the stupid search is being retarded i couldnt really search. thanks

Like "Dltreezan" says you are going to have some work to do.
I presume you are the DIY type.
If the price is right - go for it..

91 T2s are hard to find. If it is in good running condition, buy it, and we'll help you figure out the electrical gremlins.

If the lights in the gauges and the taillights wont light up then it is the illumination fuse. That is said that the brake lights work. -Gabe

It could very well be more than fuses, but don't let that stop you from buying it. It's leverage for haggling.

When my HL switch went TU only my dash/tail/marker lights didn't work. Those switches (actually the design of the circuit) can be a problem. If it is, just take the taillight load off of it with a relay.
