1979 corvette tail lights90Bonneville 11-27-2006, 07:10 PM alright...i have no idea what is wrong with these lights...kinda have a mind of their own...so here goes... the passenger side brake and driving light are backwards (as in they are switched like the brake light is on when the running light should be on) when i turn the headlights on-both of the blinkers are on and stay on when i hold the brakes and turn on the driver blinker the tail lights wig wag kinda like a cop car and thats all that i can think of off the top of my head...any ideas on what i could do to fix it without rewiring it all maxwedge 11-27-2006, 07:29 PM Confirm proper grounds for all the sockets/wiring in the involved lites, first. 90Bonneville 11-27-2006, 07:34 PM well ok...how do i do that....what can i say i'm not very car savey maxwedge 11-27-2006, 07:40 PM Pull the bulbs out, get a test lite on the contacts in the socket to find the 12v contact, then put the gd side of the test lite to the socket housing, if the gd is good it should lite, do this on all the suspect lites. twistedtech 11-27-2006, 08:41 PM Being a Camaro lover,I just have to,wasted post I know,but I had to.I don't know whats wrong with a Vette's tail light,I've never seen them!With that said,Max is right on the money,it's a ground issue. silicon212 11-27-2006, 08:49 PM 3rd that emotion, it's a ground issue. If the ground on one light isn't proper, the power will flow through other lights to ground in ways the system wasn't designed for, hence the weirdness. joe68 12-02-2006, 05:39 PM i agree it a ground issue,check all ground strap on engine while you are at it. remmember it a vett,so ground has to be their! jveik 12-04-2006, 05:58 PM yeah something tells me fiberglass dont work too good as a ground ;-) vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
