IML: 1955 inconsistent taillights

Jim:

 

I had a similar problem with a 1954.  It was a loose connection inside

the turn signal switch.  Sometimes the brake lights would work fine,

sometimes only one would work and sometimes none.  I found if I held

the turn signal lever in a certain position when stopping, they would

both work.  We took the horn ring assembly off and repaired what had

come loose which ended the problem.  You might see if leaving the

turn signal lever slightly up or down makes a difference, or if moving

it around a little changes things.  This would indicate that is where the

problem is.  I hope this helps.
