Another Brake Light Question

Another Brake Light Question - 06/29/11 03:54 PM

I had some electrical problems with my 70RR including no dash lights, couple side marker lights out and turn signal/brake light not working. Now let me say I am very ignorant in the ways of electricity but I managed to fix everything except my brake light problem (so far everything was related to bad grounds). My tail lights both light up when the headlight switch is on and my drivers side brake light and turn signal both work but the passenger side brake light and turn signal do not work.

I have taken the bezels off and cleaned them as well as the light sockets them selves but no luck and I have run a jumper wire touching the passenger bezel to the drivers side bezel to double check the ground but no luck. I have read some of the other posts on this subject and do I now need to go into the turn signal switch?

If so I may have to get a friend over with more electrical knowledge but I wanted to see if there was any thing easy I am overlooking.

Thanks

Paul

Have somebody watch the brake lights while you move turn sig lever from right to left and see if they come on and off. Would indicate defect turn sig switch.

kick on your hazards & see if they flash on the pass side & if so the prob is highly likely in the TS sw as the turn signals/hazards/brake lights use the same large filaments in the 1157 2 filament bulbs. if NO flash seperate the electrical pull apart connector behind the dr kick panel & jump fire to the 1 wire that goes to the pass large filament in the rear bulb. www.mymopar.com will have the colors 4 you. Couldn't tell from your decrip but if the RF turn signal also does not light then there'll b a seperate color wire for it also & ohm it or jump fire to it

Both front turn signals work...as for the hazards both front are flashing and only the drivers side rear flashes, nothing on the pass side.

As for manually flicking the turn signal lever no effect on the pass rear lights they still don't work.
