I'm useless without having the thing in front of me, Will. Sorry. Been a few years since I've had one of those down to bits.
Hopefully someone will see the post and respond.
Usually if they come apart 'dramatically' it means replacement time. Most of 'em after 1968 were plastic bits 'welded' together with heat at specific spots.

thats why every one puts the cars under there name. sorry 78 b, i did end up putting a new one on. as well as a relay. everything works again except the reverse lights. trouble shooting those tomorrow hopefully. the only problem with the turn signals now is though all lights are on the right blinks twice as fast. both have a long delay before they turn on. thoughts from the all powerful collection of lbc knowledge?

& clean the bullet connectors, not just for ground but everything.
A 22 gauge rifle bore cleaning tip will fit inside the female side to clean them, and steel or preferably copper wool for the male sides.
Steel wool will drop bits that will rust and we all know where that leads...

I prefer a pipe cleaner myself...not the fancy kind you buy at the craft store, but the kind they sell in a tobacco shop. Get the fluffy cotton ones and use a solvent for the fist couple of times...then snip off the dirty ends with a pair of wire cutters and use the clean end to clean and dry out the solvent. Finish with a little grease or WD40 and the bullet will conduct better than most of the wires in a 30 YO car.
