Kind of surprising, really. There are quite a few around. I'm sure I can't be the only one who loves these large wagons! Or maybe I'm just surprised since I was looking for a little help with one...
77 LTD Country Squire, 460 Big Block, 4 bbl carb, about four thousand or so vacuum tubes and fittings (gotta love the late seventies!), and a goofy right taillight.
Taillight has three bulbs, top and middle being the tail/turn/stop bulbs. The top bulb doesn't work at all, the middle works until you step on the brake, then it goes out completely. Both bulbs are new. The sockets show some corrosion and age brittleness, so I figured that I would just replace them with new pigtail sockets and see what happens. But I have a funny feeling this won't solve the problem. I can't quite wrap my brain around the fact that the one working element in the middle bulb will go out exactly when both elements are supposed to be lit (when you step on the brake)!
I'm not real strong when it comes to electrical issues, so any help would be appreciated. Please feel free to dumb-down any advice; I won't take offense!
