Electrical Gremlins

J jeffgraham
CMC widebody. Using the build manual to trace why I do not have turn signals when the headlights are on, I'm convinced that LUCAS has struck the white wonder. The lights were fine before winter storage, then spring arrived and I think everything I learned from 3 Healeys, a 120 Jag and an MGA whent by the wayside (did I loose it because I'm 8 days from MediCare)?

Any suggestions are welcome and needed. Want to bring this white wonder to Carlisle but need state inspection now to do it.

Check the sockets, too. They're probably the push-and-turn type; scrape the terminal contacts with a flat screwdriver and try that. If no dice, maybe it's the spring-tensioner under the flat Bakelite socket floor. I just had that problem with a brake light, and I checked everything else first. Simple answer in my case, involving pulling the socket floor out and pulling on the spring -- then reassembling the socket. It took a few tries.

Gordon, hope this doesn't change the thread. I am planning on being there, hopefully Thursday nite. If we bring the speedster we probably will be in the camp grounds. Look for an old cream & green motorhome sporting large Lotus stickers, Mothership as a name and probably a flag showing the butt of an older Mini-Cooper. The butt of the Mothership has been converted to a race car hauler.
2 of us will be at the dinner and most other functions. Am registering tomorrow.
