<VV> Electrical problem #2

[Jay Maechtlen]

The comment above about checking ground might not have been completely 
clear -

The taillight housing is aluminum.
The socket is steel.
They are crimped together - it can look fine, but have high resistance 
between the steel and aluminum.
On one of mine, I had about 8 Ohms between the socket and the aluminum - 
and it misbehaved.
I drilled through the joint at two points and installed pop rivets that 
would bridge the two materials.
Works ok so far.

cheers
Jay
