Okay guys...this is what I have found so far. 1970 Chevelle with 71 front and back end.
I checked all the wires in the trunk harness (running from driver side floor board, under carpet, and under the driver side quarter into the trunk to connect into the rear light harness.
All wires besides the light green have power, a few are quite dim on the test light but they have power non the less. So theres my brake light problem, because its not getting anything into the sockets.
Alright, so I pulled up the carpet in the drivers side floor board and checked the lime green wire there..Nothing...Nadda..
Then I checked the juice to the brake switch. Removed the switch from the brake assembly so there would be no pressure on the switch and power would be running through the switch out the white wire..and it is...Got power there.
I also have no turn signals at either end. Front or rear, just have running lights at the rear, and fronts burn but dont flash. i have power at the two pink wires, and the purple.
I've been told the brake wiring, and turn signal wiring both run through the Turn Signal Switch in the column, Is this where my problem is? I called the parts store and they ordered me one, The whole assembly with wiring they said...Does that mean it will have the cancel cam with it also? Because I don't beleive mine was in the column when i took it apart. What leads me to beleive it's the switch among all this other is because I don't have any hazards either, and I have replaced both the hazard and the turn signal flashers.
Thanks so much guys.
