Hey I’m starting a new project this week, trouble shooting the lights on a 61 Vette I’m starting with checking the grounds, bulbs, power to the flasher and loose wires around the steering column. If anyone has any other suggestions please reply. Thanks for your help

Grounds ,grounds, grounds. These plastic cars don't play well without everything grounded together, so clean and check all of them.

I was able to fix the lights yesterday, bad ground at taillight and flasher was rusted in place, new flasher and a little dielectric grease we are ready for inspection. I have some pictures to post in a little while it’s a shame to store this car outside with out cover .

Back at work on it again replaced the heater core man not much room under the dash. Also still have issues with the lights working one minute an not the next, looking at the headlight switch today, hopefully we will get her on the road again today.
