Old Cars and E-lecticity

["Frank Bakanau" <FBAKANAU@xxxx>]

You may remember my ordeal with my C-300's wiring. It was BAD. I re-wired
it completely and have had no problems at all... until yesterday.

I was checking the turn signals before setting out for a drive. The left
one was fine, but the right seemed a bit bright. I got out of the car and
walked to the front. You can not know how I felt when I saw the headlights
flashing with the turn signal. My heart sank. I had installed my newly
converted-to-12v Neg Ground AM radio, and had some of the dash out. It must
be the switch. After checking EVERYTHING, I was really bummed. Looking for
other things to check, I pulled the right rear socket. The problem went
away! It seems the bulb was not seated properly, and the double bases were
feeding e-lectricity from the flasher/brake circuit into the lighting
circuit. I never would have guessed that this could cause the problem.
All's well now.
