<VV> Intermitten Turn Signal

[David Iverson]

The brake lights don't work.  Checked the plunger on the brake pedal arm and
it is good.  The brake lights were the first to go bad.  I've was told that
it is a '69 column because it has some type of feature that will prevent the
driver from getting speared by the column in a head on collision (God
forbid).....  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get to the directional
switch.  Steering wheel is off....  Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

David

Do the brake lights work?  Rapid flash usually means a bulb is out.  The 
brakes and turn signal use the same filament in the rear bulbs.  Are you 
saying that the '65 has a '69 column installed?  Otherwise, you could have 
poor grounding at some point in the system, a loose connection somewhere, 
perhaps a poor connection in a bulb socket, or just a bum switch.

Later, JR
