Whoa, no tail lights!!
#1
Driving the EB home from work Thursday night, I got honked at by several vehicles in the passing lane. Well heck, I thought they were just admiring the Bronco. Imagine my surprise when I pull in the parking lot at Harris Teeter and the cart jockey yells out that I don't have any tail lights!! Just my luck, it's going to be colder than a "well diggers arse" again this weekend in Wilmington with the possibility of snow and sleet, and now I've got to troubleshoot this problem....I did a search here on the Early Bronco Tech forum for info and learned from other posts that there could be several causes. Anything from headlight switches, dimmer switches, and ignition switches, to fuses, faulty wiring, and poor grounds....I noticed over the last week when I depressed the dimmer switch the headlights would go out on occasion. I could depress the switch again and the headlights would come back on. This leads me to think that the dimmer switch may be the culprit causing no tail lights. What do you guys think? Any troubleshooting tips prioritized from the most likely to the least will be appreciated....I absolutely hate troubleshooting in cold weather!!
