Tail Lights Q & A

Q	06/12/03 Jim: When I step on the brakes, my right turn signal indicator come on, on the dashboard,and the fender mounted turn signal also lights up. When I turn on the right turn signal the whole back end blinks, on my troubled '67. I recently took apart the entire rear light assembly to look for bare wires or burned out/ shorted out bulb filaments.... no luck.
A	06/12/03 Hoopity: Have you recently replaced one of the tail light bulbs? Sounds like you are back feeding the right side turn signal thru the filament on the right side brake light circut. Common culprit is a 1056 bulb pushed into an 1157 circuit
A	06/12/03 Hoopity: Another thing you might consider, if this problem just started out of nowhere, is that the filament could have shorted in the bulb. After burning out the filament could have dropped down and is now making continuiyt to the other filament. I think I'd try the easy stuff first, Get an extra 1157 and swap bulbs on the right rear bulbs one at a time. Might take 5 minutes to verify this isn't the problem.
