<VV> 64 Parking/Signal Lights Not Working

[Dave Thompson]

Jason,
There is a wire connector on the left hand side of the trunk up by the
windshield. Carefully unplug it and check for corrosion/bad connections.
Also check to see if the lamp housings are properly grounded.

Subject: <VV> 64 Parking/Signal Lights Not Working



I've never noticed before, mostly because I never drive my Corvair after
dark, but last night happened to find out my front amber parking/signal
lights do not work.  When I pull the light switch out the first notch for
the parking lights the rear lights illuminate, but neither of the front ones
do.  With the parking lights on or off, the rear lights signal, but not the
front lights.  Also, the dash green signal lights work as if there's no
problem.  Again, with the light switch pulled to the second slot so the
headlights are on, there is no change, the rear lights work as they should,
but nothing from the front.  Finally, if I have the light switch off I have
rear signal lights and brake lights, but again nothing from the front.  I
have seen a lot of great advice posted on these emails so I hope someone has
had a similar problem that can point me in the right direction.
 
Thanks,
 
Jason
