No, it's too embarassing. Don't ask again.

Ok - I guess I've sufficiently gotten over it. I finally got down and looked inside the right front wheel well and saw the green turn signal wire hanging loose having come disconnected at the spade connection. Don't ask me how one of those l/4 inch spade connectors just suddenly comes apart. I tested the right bulb for conntinuity on both elements and switched it to the other side to verify it was good - but didn't think to check the connection in back.

I knew there was something even more screwed up with the right side since even the front wouldn't flash over there, but most of the problems were in the rear on both sides). When Bob says that a front signal light will prevent the rear one from working, that might mean both sides in the rear.

Oh that's not so bad... I thought you were going to say "I had the battery disconnect open all the time."

OK. Now that would be REALLY dumb.

Could tell you stories about much "dumber" moves but I think the forum limits you to 10 pages of text for a post. As for your situation I'm sorry to say it's hardly a blip on the dumb scale comparatively speaking.

Don,

I concur. It is easy to miss wires that have become disconnected. There are easily dumber mistakes than yours to make..,
