Does anyone know where I can find, or have, wiring diagram(s), specifically tail light, for an '87 Cavy RS?

let's see if I can get it, what problem are you having

I've got it all posted in the Problem Diagnosis section under 'Electrical Problems'. Here's the link to it, though:

well, my brother just faxed it over from his shop in florida (6 pages) but I can hardly make out the details or even the wire color... what I can do is you can call him so that he can fax it directly to you.... cause I can scan it but it will get worse.
Questions:
A: Has the car been repaired from a wreck.
B: Has any stereo work done?
C: Engine Swap?

A: Yes the car has been repaired from a front end wreck. Replaced the whole 'doghouse', or front facia - both fenders, bumper, grille, headlights etc. Had everything working correctly up until now, though.
B: Yes I did put a system in the car, and just a little bit after that is when I had this problem. So yes I imagine it had something to do with the stereo. Oh, and when I took a closer look the ground wire for the stereo was alittle fried, although it still seems to work. I'm gonna run a new ground straight to the kick panel, though.
And that would be awesome if I could get those pages faxed, although if you can't make any of it out I'm not sure how much a help it's going to be to a wiring newb' like me. =\ How are you going to get me the number?
If the diagram doesn't help me at all I'm probably going to just have to push it alittle further and rip all the tape off the wire bundles and try to trace the brown wire. I can imagine how fun that would be. But still, the wire wasn't fried until I hotwired it. So I don't imagine the wire was the problem before unless that head unit ground caused some problems.

I ripped the tape off and traced the wire, it connects with two other brown wires - one from the dash light roll/turn switch harness, and I'm not sure where the other is from - one of them, along with a few blue wires and some others from God knows where, go through a clip and to a housing inside the trunk in the corner of the rear bumper on the driver's side (to the tail lights, in other words. And I looked at the clip closely, looks like it's getting a good connection.).
The second goes to a metal chip thing with air cooled type wings (like what you'd see on a dirtbike engine), that's on top of the mess where all the relays are, that has an orange and green wire coming in/going out of it.
The third goes straight to the main firewall harness and somewhere in the engine compartment (parking lights?).
But the wire from the light switch is only fried down about a foot or so, until the three wires are all soldered together under some tape with a small circular metal clip
