Front end no lights?


Recommended Posts

I am putting front end back together after painiting radiator core support with POR15, turned lights on, no lights in headlamp or side marker. Raer lights works so does that means I am dealing with ground issue? If so, where do I start?

If it is in the condition as shown in the picture, (no fenders) a lack of proper ground would be my first guess.

On my 71 there is a ground wire from the (-) battery terminal to the right fender.

Just add a jumper wire from (-) battery to the rad core support and try them again.

Good luck!

If you look closely, you will see a small ground wire on my right fender.

Ert, yes I did reconnect the ground wires for headlanps to tge radiator core support. I was not sure if POR paint will cause grounding issue.

 

Bruce, good point as I didnt test lights while fenders were off, will put fenders on next to see if lughts will work.

 

Thanks guys!
