led tail light fail
.
So had a tail light stop working. Found that pushing in on the plug ( 1157 bulb style plug pushed in and twisted slightly just like an 1157 bulb ) would cause the tail light to light up and function intermittently. After disassembling the housing and cleaning for proper ground on all components, the problem persisted. I tested the spring loaded power leads ( these clip onto the rear of the 1157 barrel housing ) for continuity of power throughout their travel. Best I could figure is that the plug connectors have failed internally so I bypassed both the plug and its female counterpart temporarily until I can get a new light or plug... Here's the pin out for the plug: black wire: park and tail red wire : turn and brake white : ground I wired the white wire straight to the housing mount bolt black to WireHarness::tail and red to WireHarness::left turn. That after snipping off the spring loaded thingamagooo. Hth, -klb
