tail lights

[Super-Bee-69]

My 69 Bee tail lights startet their own life:
the backup lights are burning when the automatic set on drive. The left braking light doesn't work, but turning lights are ok.
Where is the bug?

For the reverse lights check the switch on the tranny sounds like it may be bad. For the brake lights and signals they all go through the signal selector switch. A wiring schematic for your car is your best tool here to do the trouble shooting. They are usually available on the good ole inner webs or someone here should have a pdf file of it

First thing to do, before anything else: check your grounds.

Had the same problem. Grounding issue

I installed a seperate ground for each socket. Have not had a problem since then!
