I removed all the lights on the rear of my bus and replaced them with 6 new 7" LED lights (for turn, stop and backup) and a new pair of stop/turn/tail lights. The turn and stop lights are working (they had worked before) but the backup lamps are not (and they have never worked before) and the stop/turn/tail lights are not working for any function (the original 4" ones that I deleted had been working fine before I removed everything). The new lights themselves are working normally (verified with a battery) but are getting no signal.

Does anybody know where I can find a wiring schematic / fuse layout for my bus?

Isn't there one on the door of the breaker panel?

I do have something like that on my breaker panel door, but it didn't seem to have the information I was looking for. The only sense I could make of it was to locate the fuse for the backup lamp (which is also the fuse for the ether starter, I guess) but I'm not sure how to check if that fuse is blown or not.

Is there a separate fuse for the stop/turn/tail light?

I was hoping I could find a wiring diagram that would state what the different colors of wires going to the back are.
 
Believe it or not, that diagram covers the whole bus harness and breaker system. If it's like mine, the upper left pink breaker is for clearnace lights and the index should state so.
 
Got my lights working, at least mostly. My backup lamps were wire through a block connector going to the back that has been disconnected since I bought the bus. I spliced the one wire around the block connector and now I have backup lamps - which are bright as ****, I can see why these aren't approved.

My stop/turn/tail lights are working now, although only the tail light (and tag light) and brake light functions are working. They do not blink along with the turn signals, which I don't understand, since my original tail lights did.
