Hey Bill!

On "Righteous", the 73 164 that bit the dust in San Simon, Arizona,

I had bad ground strips in the taillights and ended up replacing

them with wires soldered in. I believe yours has similar light

sections, probably made in France. They seemed to be prone to

a wide variety of contact problems.

Be sure and check with a meter while someone steps on the brake.

The right and left light wires probably are joined somewhere near

the taillights, so there should not be much tracing involved.

Bill, Have you checked the socket that the bulb is in to see if the contacts are worn also check for corrosion on the contacts hope this helps merry christmas or happy hanukkah and happy new year. paul larter
