67 Imperial electrical issues

The tail lights should be evenly bright when not stepping on the brake. If any are too bright, you may have the wrong bulbs in some of them.

This sound like a bad ground at the tail lights. I have chased these a couple of times in the past. If your brake lights are dim it's the ground. If they are bright it's Brad's short.

 

Good luck.

After spending a fortune on restoring, stripping, rechroming all birte work--repainting., AND replaced turn signal switch on my car---signals, brake lights ---all electrical worked fine!

I have had all the wood on the dash and panels professionally redone----

Here is now the problem----(driving me and my mechanic crazy!!)

When you step on the brakes ---dash lights and running lights and turn signal fender lights up!

Has anyone experienced this sort of problem before!

I am visiting my mechanic again tomorrow---he is thinking there is some sort of grounding problem some where!

Initially., he thought it may be a faulty turn signal switch---however----when the car is off and you depress the brakes., that is when the dash and running lights illuminate

 

ANYONE!?

THANKYOU
