Hi All I'm having some issues with my dash light and license plate lights, neither are working. Do both of these lights work off the same wires? Or can someone tell me what wires they use. It's a 65 Mustang Coupe. Thanks

Afternoon Sue, The first thing I would do is make sure that your tag light is not burnt out. Try to narrow down the scope of the problems, perhaps breaking them into 2 seperate ones. The possibilities as I see them : ( Keep in mind I know nothing of the condition or history of the vehicle) 1) Headlight Switch is going and the connections inside might sometimes work and sometimes dont. ( most probable if it's the original switch ) 2) Tag light is burnt out, and wiring harness connection or ground to dash is loose / disconnected ( less probable) 3) Tag light is burnt out, and all dash lights are burnt as well ( not probable) 4) Fuse for that circut is blown ( quite probable, but most lights would be out, not just tag and dash) 5) Something seriously is awry ( main harness broken / disconnected / cut for some odd reason - not probable at all) Couple of questions to try and narrow things down: Have you checked your fuses? ( under the dash on the firewall I think on a 65) Have you checked to see if the tail lights turn on when you have your headlights on as well? Did all of them work one day, and then just stop for no reason without any other circuts or systems affected? Are your headlights / tailights working properly when the others are not? Is your light switch ( the knob ) loose or gritty - feel like it's working ok or does it seem a bit 'off'? Has the headlight switch ever been replaced? Dave
