Rodney Bullock Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 I started to clean my light sockets and was testing my brake lights. With the park lights off when I apply the brake I get brake lights. when I apply the park lights One brake light goes bright and the other goes dark. When I let up off the brakes the park lights go back to normal with both on and low filament. What is wrong here? Quote
Niel Hoback Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Definitely ground issue. Start by cleaning the insides of the sockets, then the mounting points. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 You guy's are spot on. I took the sockets out this morning and found that the plymouth socket has 6 points it makes contact on the body metal. When I restored this car I used alot of POR-15 it lined the under and insides of the truck. I first cleaned the socket itself then the housing it clicks into. The socket had alot of rust while the housing had the coating. It took alot of grinding but I finally got the socket housing cleaned then I tested the wire harness to make sure the wies were not broken inside of the plastic case. Sometimes if two wires (Stop and tail light) are touching it will act out as well. I reinstalled everything and it works right. The wire harness(Original) for the rear tail and stop light can be disconnected and removed. When I got this car the guy had bought a newwiring harness for the car. Quote
