Re: LED Light Issue - Turn Signal Switch Shuts Off Brake Lights

If you jiggle the signal arm and the lights cut out, I would say you have a switch issue.
I would start by replacing the signal switch in the column
I do have an issue with the front left turn socket, but it "self fixes" and I can never find the problem. I cleaned the socket and scraped the crud off the contacts and then put dielectric grease in there, works most of the time. I gave up, its 48 years old and the sockets are the only original electrical items on the vehicle. They are bound to have problems, lol. I am also going to add a think LED strip at the top of the hatch glass on the inside and work for the high mount 3rd light, for safety. I am always paranoid someone isn't going to see the brake light lit even though they are much brighter than they were. I also painted the inside of the housing with chrome paint to get a little more reflectivity out of them
