    65 Courtesy Lights.

    you could always do what i did when i rewired, it's not stock of course, but it looks pretty cool. i took some red neon tubes and put two under the front dash, driver and passenger side, and one under each seat in the back and wired up to the door switches. you cant see them and lights up the...

    Looking for Wiring Kit Recommendations

    ron francis or painless, but be ready to pay premium for it. i rewired my 66 last year with an ez wire kit i got off of ebay for 180 shipped. it required a bit more work but i was able to rewire the whole car for less than 300 dollars.

    turn signal

    disconnect the column plug and find the wires that go to the rear turn signal/ brake lights. run a jumper from a hot terminal on your fuse box to the wire that is for the left light, and see if both sides come on. if so your problem is after the turn signal switch, if not, it's more than...

    turn signal

    original wiring or aftermarket? i had the same problem when i rewired my car, the new harness i used was set up for separate bulbs for the turn signal and brake light, but since we use the same filament, the left turn signal would send voltage down the brake light wire and would flash both sides.

    My last electrical gremlin? One brake light...

    from looking at the diagrams, you've got your turn signal power coming from the back of the ignition switch into the flasher, then into the column connector on a blue wire, your brake signal is coming from the brake switch on a green wire. the wire coming out of the turn signal switch to the...

    you need to check to see if the pass. side turn signal works or not, it'll help us figure out what we're dealing with here.

    not stock maybe?

    since the axles are out and i'm getting the brake drums/ backing plates powdercoated, i figure i'm gonna get new springs/ hardware and whatnot. i'm looking at kits on mustangs unlimited, and i'm seeing 9 in and 10 in drums. mine measure almost 12 in across and are 3 3/4 in deep, and the drums...

    axle removal

    so i'm pulling the axles to get new bearings pressed on. the pass. side came out nice and easy, but the driver side isn't budging. i flipped the brake drum over and tried using that to pull it, and even took that off and tried to use the wheel, i figured the weight behind that would slide that...
