Odd rear light issue m35a2

[cessnapilot89]

Drove the deuce to a friend's farm today and developed an issue. The right turn signal stopped working as well the brake lights. Brake lights are flashing momentarily when first applied then no more light for the remainder of the pedal travel. Any thoughts? Left turn signal and running light are functional.

Turn signal handle is next suspect after grounds.

Turn signal handle is next suspect after grounds.

It works to the left and the front right turn signal is working, just not the rear or the brake lights

All those circuits go thru the turn signal switch, and they are really problematic.

There is no real way to fix one, just get a new one. I suggest putting a 10A fuse inline with the power feed, saves a lot of headaches from an intermittent short somewhere in the system.

I'd start by cleaning the grounds.

I've got brake lights back but still no right rear turn signal

Where is the rear harness connector located?

Deduced it was the switch. All the circuits had continuity until switch got involved. Was able to jump circuits and made the lights come on. Disassembled the switch and tweaked some contacts, this resulted in intermittent light functionality.
