Re-wired 72 to 71 conversion issues
« on: January 19, 2014 - 04:13:35 PM »
I converted my 72 into a 71. We had a used wiring loom for the rear end that connects to the clip near the drivers door. The wiring was in great shape. The car runs great, the front lights highs and lows work. Some brake light works. But not the pass side and both rear blinkers. Any ideas?

Grounding. The cct grounds through the light socket gripping the housing. Clean up the housing area where the light socket inserts to make sure you are getting a good ground.

First off, what car are we talking about? Cuda or Challenger.

I'll start with the obvious and ask if you know that all the bulbs are good?

Do front turn signals work?

Since the rear wiring harness is inside the car(unlike the front), I don't think that could be at fault, unless someone modified it for some reason.  Another guess is your turn signal switch.

Depending o n the car . . . Some of the rear light ground to the body and f you painted the interior of the truck, could have issues there as I did with one of my cars.
