Brake Lights

[<pnkmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had similar symptoms once with my '70.  I tried everything.  I was
complaining about it at a party, worried that I wouldn't pass my next brake
inspection.  A fellow there who turned out to be a very experienced mechanic
went out to the car, pulled the bulbs and wiped out the sockets brisquely
with his handcerchief.  Then he rubbed the light posts and put it all back
together.  Problem solved.  It was a bad ground.
