No Parking Lights-1964 Comet

Post by joswald »

OK I have no idea what happened. I have no front parking lights or front turn signals. The light in the back work. I didn't touch anything. I find electrical problems the worst.

Check the grounds first. Chances are they are good if both went out simultaneously but it doesn't cost a red cent.
Black/yellow runs to the fuse box into the switch. You can check voltage at front lighting harness plug, see if it's a dirty connection.
On the firewall on '63. Don't know about '64.

A ll the lights run back to the signal switch, also I had some bad sockets after 55 years. Going with dual filiment bulbs for my front signals so I can have parking lights and signals at the same time havent done it yet but it is on the agenda :roll:
I am with Joe if they both stopped working at the same time it has to b a common error so ground like he said or the turn signal switch. There is a lot the switch controls and I was having trouble until I changed mine out
