| | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 27 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 27 | I unhooked a trailerbreak and light plug on my rear bumber and matched the wires back up to the bulk head conector. They were color coded so it was a no brainer as the trailer plug was spliced into the middle of the wires.
Now my problem is I have no "rear" directional lights.
I have rear running lights, rear break lights, but when I pull down for left turn signal only the front left signal works the rear left light goes completely out. when I turn the signal to the neutral position it comes back on. It does the same thing when the break is pressed. It is just the opposite for the right.
I replaced the flasher which was not a big expense but now I am stumped.
Would it be the turn signal switch on the steering column or something on the fuse box?
Thanks!!!
Tom

Make sure there is not a lead dangling in the breeze back there. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 27 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 27 | Sorry that is BRAKE lights not Break lights | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I'm betting it's in the wiring in this case.
But it might be in the switch. The brake light looses power when the switch is turned that way. That part is working. However, the switch should also close the circuit from the flasher to the rear brake light bulb. That part may not be happening. My '56 is "funny" about that except it's the right brake light won't work with the switch in neutral. I've found that cycling the switch several times clears the problem.
