Traced the tail light not working to the headlight switch.
I'm pretty sure, ran power through each post on the switch-- headlights work, front turn signals work,
side markers work

Is there a source for just the switch?
Where can I buy one?
Thanks in advance

I doubt you'll find them new anywhere that will just plug right in as a direct replacement. You can probably find one in a junkyard, and I believe Isuzus up to the late 80s have the same wiring scheme and basic size/shape.

I've also been able to clean them up inside and get them working again. You bend the tabs up and the back pulls off. Careful as you open it up as there are some loose bits in there. Clean the contacts up and give it a very light bit of grease (vaseline would probably work fine) and see if that helps.
