right F&R standing lights?

Just recently got the car and so far i love it. The only problem is that the right front standing/blinker and right rear standing light does not work. The front one will do the blinker function but the rear doesnt do any thing. Replaced fuses and bulbs(one went out so replaced em all).

but im not sure were to go from there. should i get a volt meter or somthing and try to track it back and if so were should i start.
(oh btw its a 1978 300D)

Matt

Inspect the plugs at the light sockets for good contact.
Usually when one blinker doesn't work, the other one on the same side does not either.

all of the blinkers work just the right standing lights. the front standing light is same bulb as the blinker so i dont think its the bulb fitting but the rear it might ill check

If this is the case, it points to the headlight switch as the culprit.

wait...

did you know the parkings lights are neat on these cars

two positions to the left with the key out put the left side parking lights on

one position to the left and its the right side (or vice versa)

is that the issue?


how fast does it blink?

That's what I'm thinking now also.

TheDon, I believe that's what he's referring to.

sub... do you find yourself in need of these often?
