Re:[alfa] No Brake Lights On '91 164S



Rex:  On the lamp sockets, there are ground tangs on the sides.  Use a spray
electronics cleaner and a small wire brush, clean them off and also their
contact points on the lamp assembly itself.  Carefully pry them outward to
exert a bit more pressure on the ground point.  Then clean off the bulb
contacts inside the socket (pull the fuse first).  BTW- the bulbs are good,
right?  I found that with the constant opening/closing of the trunk lid, I had
to clean the bulb and ground contacts about every year.

May not be the solution, but it is worth a try since so many electrical
gremlins involve faulty grounds.
