need help with lights

["Lisa & Rick" <hugacub@whidbey.net>]

OK.....I told you last nite that my park/tail/sidemarker/instrument 
panel lights went out.  So I figured since I spent $50 for a Bentley 
manual I was in good shape trying to fix this minor problem.  HAH !!
This is one area the manual provides little help.  Trying to read 
their "current flow" diagrams is challenging to say the least.  After 
checking fuses, I yanked the switch out of the dash.  Then referring 
to the trusty manual, I was left more confused then when I started.  

Does anyone know what the markings on the back of the switch stand 
for?  I figured that 58L & 58R stood for the left and right pk/tail 
lites.  I took an ohm meter from the terminal marked 30 to them and 
got zero ohms when turning the switch on.  So I figure the switch is 
ok.   What I'm trying to figure out is where the freakin wires go
from there.  It's a real rats nest under the dash!  I'm wondering if 
there's another relay I'm not finding or something.  

Also, I assume the load reduction relay has nothing to do with this 
problem, as the manual says it is only for devices that are only on 
with the ignition, and the headlites are working.

I'll list what works and doesn't work in hopes someone has been 
through this and can guide me in the right direction.  I can't 
believe the freakin lites are giving me such fits.  I've been away 
from mechanics too long, I guess.  This is embarrasing :)

Works:  Headlites (hi and low); turn signals; emergency flashers; 
brake lites; interior lites

Not working:  park/tail/sidemarkers; instrument panel lites (gauges 
seem to work, as do the indicator lites); back-up lites

Well, I'm going back out and seeing if I can figure this "simple" lite 
problem out.  If anyone out there can help, hanks in advance.

BTW, the manual makes several references to the sidemarker lites (a 
hot topic the last few days), which leads me to believe they are 
standard equipment.
