Sorry to vent but had to tell someone-
I've been working on my 56 Victoria on and off for 6 years. Bought it as a basket case. Rebuilt engine, put in a 4 speed, everything new (brakes, lines, fuel tank, radiator, radio, etc.) Like most old cars the wiring had been "worked" on over the years. So I went completely over it, replaced most, and had all lights working. Sent car to body shop this spring and got it back about a month ago. So now I can start putting all the weather seals, gaskets, bumpers on it. In putting the lights back in I have come up with a problem that keeps eluding me. I have both tail lights but only one brake light, sometimes I have one front parking light, no turn signals, and so far I have one head light, either dim or dimmer. Not sure what happened! Battery ground is to block and body and another ground strap at rear of block. Oh yeah- I also lost my high beam indicator light in the dash. Radio works as do the dash lights and interior light.
If you have any idea what to look at let me know. I'm so close to having it on the road but have to get by this electrical issue.
Thanks!
