Chasing electrical gremlins
On my 79 T/A the stop light circuit is whacko. As I understand it the stop light fuse/circuit controls the brake lights, the emergency flasher and the dome light/trunk light. When I turn on the e-flasher the brake light element does not blink but the dome light and trunk light do blink. When I depress the brake pedal the tail light elements come on, not the brake light element which is the brighter of the two elements in those 2-element bulbs. I have checked and replaced bulbs to no avail. Am I looking at a loose hot lead or maybe a loose ground connection? Don't know what to do next.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
