Another helpful tid-bit as an aside: Spasmodic brake light function? Pull the switch from the bracket by the brake pedal, remove the brass contact tabs from the plastic switch-box, emory cloth both the inside contact points and the outside. Re-insert, reattach. Over time, the constant arcing of "juice" inside that switch-box will burn the contact areas on the mechanism, rather like inside the distributor cap. Clean well, and drive on...

Go to Radio Shack and buy one package Cat.# 64-3010, and one package Cat.# 64-3017 ( small machine screws and nuts ). Remove your light boards and put one screw through each of the hollow rivets holding the light sockets. Tighten these down with a vengence. This improves electrical contact immensely. Fixed mine, try it. Thanks to Knut Grimsrud! Additional: If your boards are dirty, clean them first. RS also sells an oxide cleaner that seems to work.

Turn signals were not working but when I changed the fuse the Right rear works great but the left rear does not work. I changed the bulb still no luck... Could it be the assembly that needs replacing on the left rear. Other problem (big) no brake lights.. Running lights ok, no back up lights either. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
