Rear lights problem
 
So I recently acquired my 1st vette (74 coupe) and I am having trouble with the back lights. Reverse lights work, running lights work, one brake light works, and neither of the blinkers or flashers work. Any advice on where to start ( not the bulbs or the fuses)?

Hi Shipwreck and welcome to the forum.
For the turn signals you should check the "Flasher", it's under the dash on the passengers side.
For the brake light problem pull the bulb and see if you have 12 volts at the pigtail, if not trace the wire, it might be broken. Hope that helps, PG

Also check the lite sockets for corrosion. I always coat new bulb bases with silicone grease to help prevent this. Also works on keeping spark plug wire boots from sticking to the plugs and cap.

Hey! Thanks alot for the tips got all the lights working now. Was a mixture of bad flashers, one open in the wiring, and bad bulbs... hahaha. Thanks again!
