Thread: need tail light help again

Tweet

If the Ron Francis socket is anodized, there could be a intermittent ground problem since anodize is a non-conductor....the anodize may need to be removed in the ground path to ensure a good bond. Also, rust is a poor conductor.

the socket is aluminum, no annodizing on it.. the tail light housing is also aluminum, so conductor is no problem.. what is the problem is that, it essentially grounds through only the 2 bolts that hold the lense/ housing in.. it's a poor design. I think I'm going to run a ground wire from both sockets to a good ground.

If I understand your reply, you are saying that a Rambler in Arkansas has no tail lights when the screws fall out and the lenses break.....but, under Arkansas vehicle code, there must be at least one broken tail light, a cracked windshield, and the trunk lock mechanism must have a 30-06 bullet hole instead of a key receptacle.
