Take the lights out. Cut the wires then tape them off till you get new lights.You could find some on ebay.

Many old coaches need some love , both in looking for electric losses , or tiny air leaks.

Glad you found the first few , but if you look on the wiring schematic , you may find other items , no longer used , but not properly terminated.

Same for air stuff , on Gm's the air went to the gradustat & was used in the air cond clutch / safty system.
Another place to check that if its removed , its OFF correctly.

I would pay particular attention to the switches that are supposed to turn the lights on.

Notorious for rusting on our vintage coaches, and since they work by grounding, just a little high resistance rust in there and you have an electron leak!

Who knows, you might get them working again quite easily with a little switch attention or replacement. Pretty simple momentary-on push buttons.

happy coaching!
