Electrical issues?
Here are the problems im having with my 76:
1. My speedo quits working some times
2. When i pull the headlight thingy, my gauges never light up so its a b*tch to drive at night lol
3. My gauges above the stereo, the one that says Door Ajar is always lit up.
4. When im backing up, one of the right rear lights doesnt light up, but when im going forward, it lights up just fine.
Yes im new to all this so i dont know the correct terms quite yet lol

Check the fuses first. You know you can turn the light switch stem to brighten the lamps?
The door ajar switch is probably bad.
Which tail lamps, or back up lamps? If the TL goes out when you back up, but comes back on when you go forward, check the ground on that side.

The grounds for the sockets are on the socket. Somewhere the wire goes to a frame ground. Follow the black wire.
