RE: 164 lamp problem

["Daniel Devaney" <ddevaney@domain.elided>]

Tom Sahines asked about certain rear turn signal and rear brake lamps being
out.

My problem was that the right rear bulbs lit up for the turn signal, but not
for the brakes.  I replaced bulbs 1157 with bulbs 2057 and the bulbs now work
properly.

Good Luck!

From 164 Tech Notes--Electrical, Group 40:  "The cure for me was to put the
correct bulb in the brake light. I thought that all were the same but was told
that there is a difference and that the correct bulb was the 2057 not the 1157
I was trying-something I learned in a truck stop. I was driving the thing home
from Minnesota and had been pulled over at least once and so stopped at a
truck stop and bought the 1157. Still the same problem so the next one had a
choice of either the 2057 or 1157. Was told by attendant that newer cars
needed the 2057. Problem solved. May be not your problem but a cheap thing to
check on."
