Re: Restoring Rusty

so after fixing the connector on Section 2 that plugs into Section 1 we hooked all the three Sections back up and tested again to discover that Section 3 is bad, so instead of trying to fix it we just removed it and plugged Section 2 directly to the transmission switch (we definitely don't need 15 feet of wire here so this is actually much tightier too)

so lets review:

Section 2 had a bad plug which we fixed

Section 3 was completely bad so we eliminated it

Result: only the left reverse light works, the right side does not, why? bad light bulb socket, see pic below, but easily fixed, basically the metal contact part would fall out of the plastic housing, so I bent one metal tab back more with a small flat screw driver and problem solved

now Rusty has two working reverse lights
