1979 Spider tail light circuit board

Post by barnesjtsl »

Can anyone tell me where the ground wire for the drivers side tail light circuit board is on a 79 Spider?

Also, does the passanger side have a ground wire?

Thanks,

John B

There's only one ground for both tail lights. Follow the wiring harness out of the LR circuit board and it should be grounded with the fuel tank sending unit wire on the left rear interior of the trunk.

I had so many grounding issues with my tail lights I added another ground to the RR tail light.

Here is where I put my ground, I believe it was originally close by but don't remember for sure. Since re-doing both tailight ckt. boards, some terminals, using the KoprShield, etc., I have had zero issues with the lights.
