[NoVa-Corvairs] brake light

[Nathan Smith]

Replaced one taillight socket (both were falling out of the sockets fairly regularly) and got both turn signals working, but I still only have one brake light.  Bryan thinks it's probably an issue with the turn signal switch.  I called the Corvair Ranch today, and they said the same thing, but that it might not be necessary to replace the part - it might just need to be adjusted.

So, no, the problem isn't fixed, but I do have a possible solution.  Of course, it still involves removing the steering wheel, which I would hesitate to attempt on my own.
