Capri - Tail Light Troubles

I haven't had much to blog about lately as I haven't done much to the Capris but as with all classic cars there is usually something to fix or improve.
When I was driving to the All Ford day several weeks ago, I discovered several electrical problems. The RH tail light was not working, the instrument backing light was not working and the wipers were not working.
Putting it off for a few weeks as I don't really like climbing under the dash, I got to it last week. Firstly, the tail light should have been easy as it often means the clips have come off the bulb holder behind the cover or the holder is not earthing properly. Not so, as both of these were firm & in place. The strange thing was that the RH brake light & indicator were working OK. A quick test with my test light indicated no current was reaching the RH tail light wiring in the boot area.



This also means the number plate light & the reversing lights were not working as their circuit is linked with the RH tail light. Strange! The Capri had two circuits, one for RH & one for the LH. After a lot of reading the wiring diagrams & looking around in the boot area, I could not find any reason why the RH circuit was not working. The wiring diagram indicates that there is a connector under the dash where the rear RH circuit links in.
Again, being very reluctant to remove the parcel tray again, I unscrewed the small cover to the right of the ash tray & this revealed a few things to help me.
The switches for the lights & the wipers have become loose & separated so  fixing them solved two of my problems. But where was the red wire with the orange tracer? After being an acrobat for too long, I could not find where the connector was, well not without removing the parcel tray & I was not in the mood to do that.
So I cheated! I ran a wire from the LH tail light connector to the RH light, wired in another wire linking it to the reversing light circuit & guess what - everything worked! They are all linked with the same fuses so I hope my temporary fix works until I next have to remove everything to find out where circuit is broken.
Always these things are a lot of fun! Here are some pics of my fix.
Oh, I did wrap insulation tape around all the connectors. Also the diagram is from the Parts Manual & indicates where the wiring groups go. It is different from the wiring diagram.
