Answer
electrical problems will be hard for me to help with without having the car and looking at it myself. it looks like the flasher which i assume you found, is pretty well connected to the emergency flasher switch. if i had the car i might try to put a 3 prong flasher unit in it to bypass the emergency flasher all together.as for the tail lights they all have a single wire from the switch or fuse panel thru the bulb to a ground. i usually take a battery and some wire so i will have a pos and neg source to play around with the tail light sockets  see if you can find the ground wire and make sure it's good.the headlight switch and brakelight switch needs to be looked at. here again trying to do electrical work without seeing the car is pretty impossible.sorry, dave
