Question Weird wiring problem

I'm having a weird problem with the rear running lights, and passenger side turn signal. All the lights in the car work fine, except these ones. The left rear turn signal works, but the right does not. The brake lights work (bulbs on high) but the tail lights do not (bulbs on low) I've checked all the grounds I can find, I've checked all the fuses, and I've made sure all the bulbs are definately working. I've cleaned out all the connections, but for some reason, I can't figure it out. If anyone has any ideas, it would be great. The car is a 1981 z28 4 speed.

I'm desperate for a fix, as the weather has turned fairly nice, and I'd like to drive it for a few days, as I've been driving my winter beater for a long time, and I'm going through withdrawl or a beefy v8. Please help me, cause I don't think I should put an insurance permit on it, till I have the lights working properly. Thanks again. Gord.

Yeah.. tell me about it. I've been trying to fix it for awhile now. I went through a automotive tech class post ed, and I excelled at everything except wiring. Geeze.. I Don't want to have to take it to a shop if ya know what I mean.
