[T2] rear brake light question

[C. Dreike]

I would suspect a dual filament bulb. One is for the brake light the 
other is for the rear running light. Each takes a separate wire. Be 
sure that the socket that the bulb resides in is electrically 
connected to ground (the chassis).

Wiggle the connections. Wiggle the bulb in the socket. Sometimes the 
little lead button on the back of the bulb corrodes and no longer 
makes connection. Clean that off. Inspect the brass tabs in the socket 
that they are also clean.

Sounds like a dual filament bulb. On my 75 both the brake light and 
running
light are on the same bulbs, third one down if i remember correctly. 
Not
sure on my '78 off the top of head, but I think they are the same.

Good luck
