Re: [AMC-list] Chasing Those Little e's

Forgot to mention, I had to add ground wires to the backside of the
housings on my markers and backups. I painted the bumpers and it 
proved otherwise impossible to get a ground!
I probably spent as much time or more making sure I had complete
ground paths in my American.

Regarding the tail lights; they have a weird grounding circuit.  The
juice flow is very dependant on those little metal sleeves in the lens
screw holes.   The ground flow is from socket to housing to lense screw
hole sleeve to lens/housing mount screw to body.  If your car has
replacement lenses without those metal screw hole sleeves, its almost
impossible to get a good ground.  Best thing to do is add a ground wire
from the light housing body to the car body.
