[6pack] Right taillight refuses to shine

[Bob Danielson]

Ken........ Most taillight problems are ground issues. Triumph did a lousy
design job with the bulb having to make good contact with the housing to get
to ground. That's why many of us have gone to these sockets
(http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/TailLights.htm)  which have a separate
ground tab. BTW.....if you don't already have the AAW wiring schematic, you
should download it at http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/TailLights.htm  It's a
freebie and the most accurate one available. Forget the factory issue
schematic and use this one.

Hopefully this is a simple problem. The right taillight & rear side marker
light on my 1969 TR6 is out. The turn signals & brake lights both work fine.
So does the left taillight. I cleaned the contacts and grounds but it still
doesn't work. I  can see on the wiring diagram that the light is fed by a
red wire. I see the wire goes from the bottom fuse on the fuseblock into the
taped wiring harness and that it comes out in the trunk at the light. Is
there any place in between that I can check for a bad connection?

Thanks
