RE: wiring help??
I've got a peculiar problem with the brake lights/turn signals in my '58 HT. The brake lights had stopped working, so I replaced the stop-light switch on the master cylinder and put new connectors on the wires leading to it. Now I've got brake lights, but only my right turn signal works. The left lights up but doesn't blink.
Now, here's where things get odd. Only the green wires are connected to the switch. The red and yellow ones were cut long ago. I spliced on extensions and tried every combination of connections, but the behavior of the lights didn't change - brake lights work, right turn blinks, left turn lights with no blink. Even when I disconnect the brake switch completely, the right signal works and the left one doesn't.
Does anyone have any clues?
Thanks, and happy holiday,
