[6pack] Two Issues

[Victor Snively]

Bob,
I experienced the back-up light issue (they didn't work) when I bought the car 22 years ago. It needed a clutch, and once I had everything ready to button up after reassembly, I noticed there were two green pigtails in the harness, but discovered only one operated the back-up lights. Someone previous to me chose the wrong one. I simply switched the bullet connector from one pigtail to the other and back-up lights worked. I don't remember a red thread, but I do remember a "dummy" pigtail, or at least the one that didn't juice the back-up lights. I'm fairly certain that the harness is original (1975) to the car, not sure what's the function of alternate pigtail. It's an overdrive car, but it works fine.
Hope this helps.
Regards,Vic Snively'75 TR6 w/AC

Hello All,
As you may know from my earlier post, by TR6 is alive and running beautifully following an extensive engine rebuild that ended up taking a few years, rather than the few months I had envisioned. Life and other important things interfered. Imagine that…
I’m now finishing up the final details and have encountered two issues, probably unrelated, that I need your help in diagnosing. 
First: Only my left turn signal works and the hazard light doesn’t work at all. 
Second: The back-up lights don’t work. I’ve installed a new back up light harness. I’ve tried to study the wiring diagram but can’t quite figure out how the 3 wires connect to the main harness’ 3 bullet connectors in the passenger foot well area. I can see that two of the new harness wires are solid green and the other has a ?red? thread. The main harness wires are almost impossible to discern which are solid and which has a different color thread.
Can anyone help me sort out these issues?
Thanks.Bob FabieFredericksburg, VA
