    Anyone know where the ground for the left rear turn signals is? I know they ground to the case when you twist the sockets in but im no getting any turn signal on the left rear. I replaced the harness because the old one was all torn up and parts were ripped off and the new one is in and much better but i still dont get the left turn signal out of it. Any thoughts? Im looking to put it on the road next week at the earliest but this is one issue i need fixed first. Car is a 68 riviera.

    On the wildcat and I would assume all are the same, there is a ground wire that attaches to each of the rear taillight assemblies, there should be a black wire with a round terminal on each side so the taillight housings are grounded. Look for the wire on the side that works and then you need to find the one that’s not hooked up, it should be there and needs to be attached to the housing. run a wire from the chassis to the housing if you can’t find it. If it is attached it needs to be mounted to bare metal. Good luck.

    Nothing on either tail light housing for ground. Going to try using a jumper wire to the body to ground it. For some reason it gets running lights but no turn signals.

    Turns out after messing around under the dash that the connectors in the switch are coming out and after pushing them a little bit the signals all work and i just need to eventually replace it i guess.
