1981 Vette Tail Light Issues
Hey gurus…have another electoral problem on my 1981 vette regarding the tail lights.
1. Running lights work no problem.
2. Reverse lights work no problem.
3. When I step on brake, right tail light goes out.
4. When turn on right turn signal, right tail light goes out, front right turn signals and side markers are solid lit. Also turn signal light in the dash lit solid as well.
5. All bulbs and fuses are good.
What's my problem? How do I fix?

Bad socket grounds do some weird things. Start there and verify you have a solid ground from the socket to the frame. On the 81 the tail light harness gets its ground on the drivers side of the frame by the mufflet/Antenna moiunt. The front os grounded on the radiator support
