when I got to this stage, a while ago, i found that I had a bad ground
connection at the rear lights.
Actually I lost all of my rear lights one night, like all at once! I figured
it was a problem with the wiring loom. As luck would have it, it turned
out to be a massive simultaneous failure of some really poorly designed
Lucas components. The ground was bad, that should have been a bolted
connection. Then a number of lights just were no longer getting juice
through their silly contacts and the silvered plastic crap. Very screwy
design on those bulb reflectors. oh the brake switch was bad too.
Pretty wierd that they all failed since I had checked all the lights
a few nights before and everything worked! I must have hit a good
bump or something....
> Generally, in spite of a bad rap, Lucas components are actually quite good.
At this, I choose to dissagree
But hey, it's part of the character right? :)
By the way, anyone that owns a TR6 MUST have Dan's electrical
manual. Even if you are and old fart electrical engineer like me!
He really did an excellent job.
