RE: Lights

[David Bailey <bb64d440@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jay,
Concerning the problem you’re having with your lights, it sounds like some or most of the problem might well be in the turn signal switch itself. By the description, it sounds; as though ‘all’ the bulbs do indeed work, it’s just that some come on that should along with some others that should not. So it would seem as though the switch is broken in such a way that when activated causes inappropriate contact for the wrong lights to come on while missing some of the correct contacts. 
For the LR brake light, I’d check the wiring connections at the brake light switch under the dash.
With the backing lights, it may be the switch isn’t being actuated or it to could be broken or just corroded.
I’d like to know what you find.
Thanks,
Dave B
