MGB 77 MGB - Turn Signal, Brake Lamp and Hazard Issues

Share this page

Hi John:

First , thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

I resolved the turn signals by jumping the wires and cleaned the terminals at the fuse box. I have a new fuse box (paint over spray as well as missing cover) and hazard switch enroute from Wisconsin I think.

I moved on to the brake light. I have a GB Instruments GDT-11 and I will use that to verify continuity.

Unfortunately the PO removed the washer so I will have to search for those wires in there.

I will report back.
 
Okay, I'm all squared away but will need to make an appointment with my Chiropractor, this was pretty much my pose this weekend:

I read somewhere that most of the issues blamed on Lucas was caused by previous owners, in my case it was true. Blue green wire in the scematics being traced and mysteriously turning into yellow somewhere down the line, of course the joint is hidden somewhere.

But I Got R Done, I have tails, horn, stop, turn signals, etc 90% of my faults were right there in the fuse box and wiring loom arena.

Thanks to everyone for your guidance and selflessness. Special thanks to John.
 
glad it works - and thanks

:cheers:
