Stop light problem......

[IJ.]

Stop/Tail White/black trace grounds are screwed on so how the fuck do they "melt"?
(reverse holders are the only riveted ones on this car sorry my mistake)

0.o apiphany!!! ok, I'll check em asap........

so uh..........just 1 ground would make all the lights not function?? 0.o?

can I re-ground them somewhere?

the housing's plastic, how da fuck does it conduct electricity???? or is it connected to a metal rod?

No they have to touch the metal housing you put the bulbs in....I just have too keep retightening the screws....

But this isn't your problem....your problem is elsewhere....

You'd be suprized at what this forum can see!

It's very late....I'm sure tomorrow some more people will chime in.

EDIT: Ok, I see it.. switch side. Still, I think it's miswired... somewhere there's a short and a break.

Did you put the bulbs in the right way? ive seen backwards bulbs back feed power to the parking light circuit witch would be dash and parking lights front and rear.

Green/white generally = Illumination ie: Park and Dash

cre, seriously, .....

Read my edit... I was thinking white/green... sorry.

Regardless, the only place for you to have a mixed problem with those two circuits is at the failure module's harness or in the taillamp housing.

 

[IJ.]

Do you have a multimeter?

again....

^ and the link you gave me said the same thing!!!

quote "Cut the green w/white wire and the red w/blue wire. Splice them together. Now cut the solid green wire and splice it to the green w/red wire."

I'm pretty sure I did it the right way though, I'll try it again just to be sure

You can only put the double filiment bulbs in one way...doubt this is your problem also.

Using a multimeter test for continuity across green, green/white and green/red.


I presume you have no knowledge of what your uncle's modifications involved? It's definitely possible he changed a couple things in such a way that nothing's going to work "by the book" until things are first returned to the expected state. Is the wiring he hacked in the same area?

 

[Kota]

same thing happened to me when i rewired mine, you must have made a mistake or you have wires shorting out

 

[Tajabaho1]

he didn't really do anything to the wires, he just sort of jiggled a ground wire or something........... sigh,

besides, it happened BEFORE the rewire, which is why I decided to bypass the stupid LFM(which was all shorted out anyways)

 

[Tajabaho1]

ok.............gaboonviper is correct!!!@

mother fucking ground bolt thingings in the housing came loose and caused the shorts etc etc.............now, they all work!!!

woot!!!
