Hi guys,

I'm just trying to get my '70 KG ready for my safety inspection so
I can register and license it here (was bought out-of-state).  I've figured
out most of the electrical gremlins but one still persists.  My right
(pass.) side running lights don't work.  I've tried changing out the bulbs
(they work in the driver's side sockets) but ran out of time the other day
to try anything else.  Any suggestions?  I reckon I could put my tester at
the socket and see if power's getting that far... I doubt it.  I'll prolly
have to trace the wires from the switch >.

Many thanks in advance :o)

  You may have to dig into the socket and its wiring.
  If the front park lights and the license plate lights
work, it has to be localized.

  Corrosion is often at work on KG lights/wiring.
It will probably require a close inspection to find.
