Check the wiring. Maybe even grounds.

Yep gonna need a volt meter and trace the wires and check the grounds...

look at http://www.greatlakesxj.com/tech.html for some wiring diagrams to help you trace it.

+1 - grounds are common to fail on your lights. Take a look at the bulb fixtures and make sure everything's tight and not corroded. A bad ground on on a single bulb can do some funky stuff with the rest of the wiring (example front and rear function)

That's also where I'd start.
