Hi guys,
The weird tail light operation is solved and it was a bad ground
connection at the left tail light connector. Half of the contacts for
the ground return had sagged in the housing from excess heat (probably
due to the double bulb euro tail light connector) cutting off the
grounds for both left and right tail lights. Made up a couple of 18
inch long 14 gauge jumpers and connected them to the side (auxillary?)
ground tab. Connected the other side to ring terminals attached to the
liner screw and rear washer pump screw. This immediately made the
lights burn brighter.
Thanks to Paul, Ingo, and Steve for the tips. Andrew, looks like my
fuse box still lives!
You guys might want to check that left light connector for high current
damage before the ground return disappears.
Time to go for a drive, well maybe a short one with gas almost at $3 for
premium :(
