Need Some Electrical Help For My 66 Mustang

randostoyz · 04-16-2006, 03:40 PM

I just got a very nice 1966 Mustang and I noticed a few minor problems. The license plate light and back up lights are not working. I checked the lights,and fuses to both of them. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what other things to check? I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks,
Randy

Get a test lamp and see if you have power at the sockets. If you do the bulbs or sockets are bad.

If not, start by checking the wiring in the trunk. There is a ground wire near the fuel filler pipe and trunk latch. Check it too.
