Well Guy's did most of the checks suggested today with no luck. The ground reading came out at 0.1 and the test lamp showed power at both lamp bulb contacts. I did'nt do the lamp switch test as I know the cables in there are a bit mumified. The stop light and back up switches checked out OK.
I believe that the fault is in the harness itself somewhere but I have decided to invest in a new harness for safety sake as the harness is starting to break up in many places. I would hate to lose my Packard though fire. Thanks to all who contributed the possible solutions. I especially like Tims breakdown of the problem into small understandable pieces of info.
