Brake light issue

[guss]

Hey all, i've got an issue with my RH Tailight.
1. when i don't have my headlights/parkers all my brake lights work fine.
2. with lights on all my brake parker lights work, then when i hit the pedal the right one goes off and left and centre light work,

its been confusing me for sometime now, i'm not spending any money on fixing it, but if worse comes to worse, i was wandering if i could just cross the wiring loom from the LH side to the RH Side, what do you all think?

:b: :ranting:

You will probably need a new wiring harness or the RH tail light man.

But before you do, Check all the earths though and check the globe, make sure its the right kind of globe (double filament) and that the filaments are not touching or anything. Lastly check the wires going to the globe etc, make sure all the wiring is fine and that there is no short in loose wires.

A harness will cost you about $30. Most of them have corroded by this age due to the leaking habits of VN boots and tail lights.

Oh and try giving the gobe socket etc. a spray with Penetrene, it might help clean up any corrosion if there is some.
