I can't get my RR tailight working. It has power, is well grounded, tried a new buld, and even a different housing (all of which I've cleaned the contacts on).
I still can't get the light to work???
Anything I'm missing???

You have two grounds on it right? One right behind the bulb and another to the housing.

it's a 64' style tailight. It grounds to the body via a "spike" right below the top bolt hole. It is grounded well (I trimmed the rubber around the tailght seal a little to make sure it could).

Take a short piece of wire and touch it to a clean spot of metal on the tail light housing and on a clean spot of metal on the body. The light should come on. You should then permently attach the wire to make a good connection to ground.
