<VV> turn signals, brake lights and confused!!!

[Frank DuVal]

Is the filament actually burning out in the right brake lamp, or does it 
just start working after you put a new bulb in?

The classic answer with any lamp not working question (brake, turn, 
running, tail, etc) is to check the ground. These late model sockets are 
famous for having the ground shell come loose from the plastic socket. 
Also the taillamp housing to body connection can develop rust and cause 
havoc.

>Hello everyone,
>my 65 monza ct just got a brand new engine harness. everything worked great until this afternoon. took her for a little spin and when i put on the right turn signal it worked, until i used the brake pedal.....then it stopped. the indicator in the dash stayed lit constantly, as soon as i let off the brake it started to flash again. also now i am loosing the right brake light....the bulb keeps burning out after a few times applying the brakes.  Also one more question...i've had this car for about 8 months and as I have said before the wiring under the dash is horrible. I have not had any instrument(dash lights) since I've gotten the car. I have courtesy lights, and glove box light, but nothing else.  WHERE DO I BEGIN!!!! At this time a under dash harness is beyond my budget.....maybe next year. The previous owner(s) really butchered the wiring under there..splices everywhere. any help or suggestion as to where to start.
