| | Gotta luv them. I'm putting my 68 together, and am not running front turn signals and running 63 tail lights. We went to put the rear lights together and one minute i have brake lights and tail lights and then no lights ok bad ground, now fixed, but still no brake lights. I'm lost. I also seem to have to connect my front turn signal light wires together to get my rear ones to work, does this seem right? |

Brakes - Do you have power at the brake switchs on the master cylinder?
Signals - Together as in left to right? Each side should tie together with the rear and a lead from the flasher in the trunk.

| | no i connected the left wires together and the right wires together, it worked so left it so far they are just twisted together so nothing permanent. I am going to check the switch, need to take the tank out anyway |

| | If your not runing your front signals you would not need the wires to the front if you took the wires runing to the front out of the harness your rears should work just fine. |

| | I took the wires out of the harness and they do work, just blink fast, with the wires together blinks normal. Had my wife press the brakes the lights come on sometimes and not others, thinking switch going bad |
