Hi all,

Trying to remove the brake warning socket from the jewel housing on my 57 and somehow have unpugged a female spade connector with 2 pink wires going into it. It branches out of the harness at the ignition switch location along with the yellow wire connector to the flasher and the ignition switch light socket with grey & black wires. I can't tell by looking up in there on my back where the heck it is supposed to plug on. Can't tell by my wiring diagram in the AIM which is very faint and difficult to read.

Anyone know which connector or lug it plugs on to?

BTW, also can't figure out how to unplug the socket from the jewel housing either... Any help with that is also appreciated.

With your left hand hold the face of the jewel against the bezel and with your right hand push in on the socket and turn it left .The spring pushing the jewel out from the dash ,that's why you have to hold it.

This is exactly what I was trying to do but I can't seem to get enough leverage up in there to rotate the socket. It apparently hasn't been removed in quite a while. I'm trying to get the socket/wire assembly with the flasher attached down so I can figure out whether I have a 6 volt or 12 volt tung sol flasher. It is stamped in white but is blurry and hard to read while on your back with crappy light and aging eyes LOL. Appears to be stamped 530 but not sure...

Will try again once I get the pink 2-wire connector mystery solved.

Thx for the info!

None of the Tung Sol flashers have that number. You should not have to remove the jewel to pull the flasher.

Appreciate the pic; worth a 1000 words...

I need to remove the socket anyway to make sure there is a correct working bulb in there.
