right rear signal light won't work

[Stovepipe]

Hi guys,

I'm working thru some electrical issues with my new-to-me 1970 240z. Most were related to old, frayed wiring. The one issue remaining is my right rear signal light doesn't light up. The right front does, and so does the dashboard arrow. Brake lights and parking lights all work fine.

Possibly a problem with contacts in the signal stalk?

thanks,

Phil

My first thoughts are to check the bulb and socket. Verify the bulb is good, and that the socket isn't corroded. Also, check the voltage at the socket. With electrical troubleshooting, pick one end or the other, and work your way across. IMHO, it's easier to start at the bulb. If everything at the back is fine, then consider the switch.

Also, don't forget about the plugs in the wiring harness. If you snagged the wire, you could have pulled it loose from the connector or lug, especially if the wire was corroded.
