1963 Corvette Brake Light Problem
Hello Guys,
My brake light continues to flash on and off. I can't get it to stop. Anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be? I installed all new wiring and the cluster as been restored.

Not sure about a 63, but the 65 gets the ground connection from the parking brake switch at the base of the parking brake, and gets the power from a pink wire. The bulb flashes because it is a special bulb (model 257) with a built-in flash function.
Yours is flashing which tells me the bulb is able to complete a circuit to ground somewhere. You said you disconnected the tan wire from the parking brake - is that wire terminal touching metal anywhere?
