[FC] Brake light problem on 69 Monza

[Michael Emanuele]

  Tod,
  Your light problem is most probably the turn signal switch. I just had 
the same problem on my 66 Monza.
  The brake light circuit is actually two circuits. One for tail lights 
and one make/break circuit for turn signals. The contacts in the turn 
signal switch get weak and break after much use.and do not complete the 
circuit correctly. The new switches are expensive for what they are 
worth. I was able to rebuild the old switch by making new brass contacts 
and fitting and forming them to the old switch. All of this was able to 
be done right in the car without taking the switch out of the vehicle. A 
little bit tedious to do but not all that difficult if you take your time.
  The lights and switch work great and it only took me about an hour or 
so to do the whole job.
  Hope this helps, Mike Emanuele
