Ok i have a 65 beetle. My running lights don't light. my left turn signal and brake light don't light. my right turn signal works. my right brake light works.
(all rear lights)
I was thinking of attaching a seperate ground wire from the light housing to the body proper. would this fix it you think?
Mechanical i can fix electrical drives me nuts please help me. |

<Try fuses
yes, first thing check fuses, not only check them for continuity but check them and make sure the fuse holder is clear of corosion.
then i would start at the main problem and work your way back. check for corosion in the actual bulb holder. then check grounds on the light fixture. keep working your way away from the problem.
if you can spare a couple extra bux buy a voltmeter from radio shack or some place like that.
yes,i a voltmeter not a test light.
you can get high resistive shorts that will still light a test light(not as bright as normal operation) but only read 3 or 4 volts on a multimeter.
gawd i hope i am not the next jakkob for typing tech type advise. let the shit flow i guess.
just my $.02 with some things i have experienced in the past.
please forgive spelling, i like beer, and i am lazy.
