brake light problem

289Eric · 07-31-1999, 02:05 PM

I cant keep one of the brake lights working. the push on wire connection is the problem, Ive spread the connection but it will only work till it gets bumped. Does anyone have a cure for this problem. Thanks

When I had this problem on a '69, it was the ground wire that attaches directly to the metal housing with a spade connector.
I just pulled the insulation off of a new spade connector and crimped it on in place of the old one. Looks fairly original and sure beats the way it looked with only one taillight.

I had probs with my passenger brake tail light and it was the turn signal lever and mechinism inside.
if much stuff pops up go ahead and get the whole tailight harness.
