Overhead Safety Control Panel HEADACHE!!

On a 66 there are two relays in the trunk for the emergency warning lights.
Sounds like this is your problem. Most vendors have them.

Thanks again guys, you're wizards at figuring out how to fix my problems!

I'd be lost without this forum, that's for sure, there's NOBODY here that has any T-bird experience.

PS Joe, last e-mail bounced back -again! :sad

They might be your problem.

The thing is Joe, I've got three relays together in the trunk, which two are for the emergency flasher set-up?

To the right of the spare-wheel as you look in the trunk I have two relays, one behind the other and placed longitudinaly, beside the nearest of those two and to its right is another third relay.
Ive sort of checked this third relay and it seems to have an orange or brown wire coming from the terminal furtherest away from you that seems to send power to the stop-lights.

There is also a live white-with-red (or brown?) tracer going to the centre terminal, when the emergency flasher is switched on this wire then causes my test-light to blink, if I hook-up a wire from this wire to the orange one it makes both sets of stop-lights and the front left park light blink quite fast.

Any help here will be appreciated!!

Got an e-mail picture of these relays from Harley and they look NOTHING like mine plus I have THREE relays!
Will have another look.

And yep, getting your e-mails Joe.

Sorry to use the forum in this way guys but it seems to be the only way to communicate with Joe who is trying to help me.

As above, I AM getting your e-mails Joe but when I tried to reply to the last one I got one of those messages from the Mail Administrator, it said my message was not delivered 'because return address was refused' whatever THAT means!!

The return address IS my correct e-mail address.

Joe, got a picture of you and your '66 in my e-mail, only thing is the name you sent it was 'Graeme', - is there another New Zealand person with a '66?

Just got my '66 back from the body-shop, expect more question you guys!
