i have since swapped out the turn signal switch and the problem is the same. I'm going to have to get a voltmeter and a load meter and see what's up. this is very weeeeeiiiiiirrrrdddd......:?

New weirdness with my tail light issue. On Saturday I removed the turn signal switch assembly from the steering column, took it apart and cleaned the contacts with 400 grit sandpaper. I reinstalled it and, voila'! the right turn signal works! However, now the left one doesn't? WTF??? I took it...

Thanks SoundGuy. I'll see about trying that next weekend when I can get back to it. A little side info: when I was returning the truck to the Vintage Flying Museum hangar where she lives (Meacham Field, Fort Worth TX) I discovered that straight line winds had destroyed two hangars inside the...

I noticed that the right turn/brake light on the rear of my M35A2C wasn't working. I assumed that it was a burned bulb, so I pulled the cover and swapped the bulb to the other side to see. It worked just fine. So then I figured for some reason, there's no power to the socket. Maybe a broken wire...
