Re: [FWDLK] Lighting Issues



Dan, That is my thought - That the one filament is for the tail light, and the other is the brighter filament for turn signal and brake.  There is only one light (each side) and one bulb with both filaments, so I can't see how the filaments can be wrong, nor how it goes through the turn signal controller (as the turn signals work fine).  Help me understand...

Hmmm...  the turn signal and brake are the same filament.  That’s why the brake wiring goes through the turn signal switch.

The separate filament is for the running lights (after dark).

Turn signals and stop lights are two different filaments. Owner's manual says it's a 1034. Same bulb as parking lights in the front.

I have a 59 Dodge Coronet which I am having a lighting problem with:  The turn signals work, but tail lights and stop lights do not.  Since I think the turn and stop lights both work off of the same filament, and just to ensure that it's not the bulb (1157), when I saw the problem, I replaced the original bulbs.  No change.

Could it be the contact of the brake light sensor (it has the hydraulic pressure switch on the brake reservoir)?

Thanks for your thoughts....

Larry
