1984 T/A signal lights and back up lights

Ok so I bought my 1994 T/A it wasnt running. After two simple fixes it runs great distributor and a battery. needs some body work and more interior then anything but for 700 bucks I gotta ttop 305 5 speed. But the only problem keeping it off the road is my back up lights and my signal lights. My back up light do not work at all nothing. But my left sig light blinks sooo slow blink 3 mississippis blink. And my right sig light just stays light up and the grren arrow in the car does not come on as the left one does help idk were to start.

Are all the bulbs know good and tested as working.

If we knew what trans you had we could tell where to find and check the backup light switch.....

First check all bulbs, even tho new, to make sure they are the correct type, and installed correctly.

A common mistake is people installing 2 filament bulbs 180° rotated.

Some crazy symptoms have been reported doing that.

If the above is OK, an electronic flasher should solve the problem.

That might be a burned out bulb or bad socket.


Happy Racing!
