Default no tail lights/tag lights. what do i do?

ok so i got the jeep for 400 bucks, and 1 of 3 little problems is no tag light or tail lights/parking lights.i have headlights/brakelights and turn signals, but yeah the fuse for the p-lights blows. obviosly i thought ther was a short, so i got to work traceing and tapeing wires. every time i fixed something i would test a new fuse but the last time i busted out the little prongs that hold that fuse, . i got a chrystler mechanic to take a look at it because its a rig job and the pull-**** is hanging under the steering wheel instead of in the propper place- all he did was start testing wires and must have touched somthing because the parken lights started working! a week later im back where i started with no lights. so i have everything apart right now putting in a toggle switch for the baja lights and figure i should fix the lights 2 since its all apart, but what do i do? im just winging it. i plan to look for loose connections and instal the lightswitch in the propper place but if anyone has any ideas or advice it would really help...

Thankz- Jon RAMROD Ramey
