I have all of the turn signal lights, brake lights, and side markers removed from my 78B for painting. The body shop is only a short drive away. Would the brake lights and turn turn signals function

Sounds like you have a poor ground. Check the multiple wire ground point that connect inside the trunk to the license plate mounting bolt. Make sure it's tight. Not sure how the turn signals would op

If both turn signals come on at the same time, you have something connected wrong. Without front signals, the rears should blink very fast, or glow continuously, but not both at once. I agree that di

Most likely a bad ground someplace. B's use a sort of unusual grounding system for the lights (headlamps and taillamps use the same ground, for instance, on some models). Try getting a good ground co

That's not an electrical question, it's an ignition question. An electrical question on these cars means something like, "When I turn the lights on, the car makes this funny gurgling noise from behin

Hey, I know this one! It means your headlights are shorted to your horns. The gurgling sound is that of the battery boiling. Do I win? (Well, I did find out what was going on and stopped it before I

Hi all. I'm helping my dad re-install the engine in his '74 BGT. (He replaced the transmission, and while the engine was out, pressure-washed the engine bay). We're having some electrical issues, wit

I would agree, a "click" from the solonoid but not movement is most likely a poor electrical connection. The starter sucks a vast amount of electricity, so the connection needs to be not just there,

Disconnect the battery charger before switching on the ignition. When you do yet it running again, recalibrte the tachometer. The (rectified) 60 cycle hum from a battery charger can make an electric

Usually bad battery connections, and those at the solenoid involving the brown wires or battery cable, causes a chattering solenoid, as with the solenoid operated and the very low resistance load of

You would need a steady 12v supply i.e. from the battery to power the electronics, then you can use the rectified AC signal from most chargers as the signal as these are not usually smoothed i.e. a s

Good point from Paul on chattering vs. clunk. Sammy II (the current Sammy) suffered from chattering - solution, a new starter. Sammy I (the original) suffered the clunk - the solonoid was activating,
