That voltage then goes to the turnsignal switch. That switch feeds the brake light that is not in use as a turn signal at that time. 4. The turn signal switch should feed both lights as brake when in the center position. That is one of the adjustments for that switch. You need to slide it up or down the steering column to feed the left, right, and in center both lights.
OK, things to check. 1. 12 volts at the brake switch. 2. 12 volts exiting the turn signal switch. 3. There is a plug from the front under dash harness, to the rear harness. Make sure it has good connections. 4. Good light bulbs. 5. Power at the light sockets, if you have power and no light look at the grounds.
Oh yea, Ames has the schematic for the car. Look in the Tempest catalog.
Thanks man. Very detailed. I appreciate it.
