In the discussion about brake light symptoms, Vance noted the
traditional problem with the contacts in the tail light sockets
oxidizing over time and eventually
losing a ground in one of the sockets. I know that there is a guy
who sells new sockets on eBay that have an additional ground
connection so that you can run a ground wire. But I've been wondering
- isn't it possible to just retro fit a ground wire to the original
sockets? What I was thinking of doing was soldering in a short
individual ground wire to each socket and then connecting all the
bulbs on that side of the car together to a common ground wire, with
the ground wire connected to the body of the car via a new hole or
some other connection. Seems like it would be a simple project.
Thoughts?
