No rear left turn signal - '67.5 SPL

Post by bikermike »

Before I start hunting for loose bullet connectors, I'll ask for some advice.

The rear left turn signal light does not flash. The left front and dash lights flash with both the 4 way flasher switch and the column stalk switch. I am thinking it is a loose connection somewhere. Am I right in thinking there are at least 1 or 2 bullets under the dash and one on the engine side of the firewall by the brake master? Any others I should hunt for? I already checked the bulb - it is ok. I get no power on the wire going to the socket in the trunk.

Thanks.

There is one in the boot (trunk ) about 4" from the bulb before it goes out and under the car, but I guess you checked that one when you did the bulb.
Yes one near the firewall near the brake MC for you with the steering wheel on the other/wrong side. (That's just confusing; the answer is Yes.)
The others I can't remember, stripped the car two weeks ago.

The rear harness is six wires that connect by bullet connectors at the firewall. It runs along the outside of the frame to the rear. You can disconnect the bullet at the firewall and use a light there to see if it works. From there I would examine the harness to make sure there are no problems as it makes its way back. Then move to the rear connection and grounds.

The wire in the rear harness will be green with red stripe and the wire coming out of the firewall should be white with red stripe that it connects to.

Pull the rubber back if need be and check the socket connectors for the bulb socket and ground. Unless of course your socket has been changed to the newer plastic twist in type.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.

Solved...loose bullet in the engine compartment by the brake master.
