<VV> Problem with left rear brake light

[n5hsr]

Yes, based on our experience, something somewhere isn't completing the 
circuit.   You might use a small wire to connect from one side past a 
suspect point in the wiring to ground to see if it makes a difference.    Be 
careful that it's only 12 v at a few amps you're connecting, though.

There's also another possibility.  Given that the car is 46 years old, 
could some insulator have failed somewhere so that the path is not what it 
seems and when he jiggles it, it is no longer touching the short path?

It's been over 30 years, but we had to take the steering wheel off once on 
ours, I'm trying to remember the insides.  I'm presuming he's got self 
cancelling turn signals like we did.

Chuck, I would slowly move forward with the inspection of the left brake 
light circuit forward. There must be another connection that has loosened or 
become corroded. Intermittent problems are tough to find.

My 63 Monza 900 has had a chronic problem with the left rear brake
light being intermittent at best, .................. The left turn signal 
and tail light works just
fine, it's only the brake light that's flaky.

Thanks in advance,
Chuck McKinley
