Phyes Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I have a 1969 510 wagon and my problem is when I signal left both the reverse lights blink with it at the same time. When signalling right the reverse light do not blink.Any clue what I could check? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Reverse lamp wiring does not go near the turn signal so look at the car chassis harness where it meets the real lamps. Plug incorrectly inserted or wires swapped (god knows why someone would do this) Look also to see if someone wired in a trailer harness for towing. Quote Link to comment
Phyes Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hello again so I got the problem sorted out, now my reverse light works "sometimes" I have continuity on all electrical connections. Could it be the switch on the trans that's bad? When going into reverse on the ON position the dome light and dash light go dimmer but no reverse light. Checked the bulbs and fuses they are all good also Quote Link to comment
Phyes Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Oh I also have the horn and brake lights working Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Bad grounds on the tail lights! Quote Link to comment
Phyes Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Checked the grounds they are good. Does the 1969 wagon have a reverse light relay? I didnt have one on the back of the passenger strut tower Quote Link to comment
Phyes Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Got it fixed!! Turns out the heat from the exhaust melted part of the tailight wiring. Made new connections and rerouted them and works all good. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment
