First side of the road repair last night.....

[Fast68back]

I was driving home from a show about 10 miles from my house. This lady pulled along side and beeped her horn and yelled my tail lights were out. I could see in my mirror that the brake and turn signals worked. I yelled thanks and pulled into a parking lot to take a look. Grabbed a scewdriver from the trunk and pulled the lower dash panel off so I could get to the two taillight harness plugs, one had come apart. I think I broke the little tab off it when I took it out of the car. Put it back together and all was good. I'll put some electrical tape on it today.

I was in the parking lot maybe 5 minutes, one of the cars from the show drove by while I was putting it back together, about 5 or 6 miles up the road I saw him pulled in a parking lot. He had a chase vehicle though with about 4 people, otherwise I woulda stopped, even if it was a chebby.

I don't think it qualifies as being on the road until there has been at least one parking lot repair, no matter how minor.

:wtf rick, make a more permanent repair with something other then electrical tape. K buddy! :rofl

There is nothing wrong with the plugs except the tab that is broken that holds the two together. I dont want to solder and hear shrink them in case I ever need to remove it. I'd have to find a new plug and solder and heat shrink them to make a more permanent fix. The electrical tape will keep the plug together.

Glad it was an easy fix.

All I can say, is anybody that hasn't done at least 2 roadside repairs on their car, either doesn't drive it enough, or doesn't drive it hard enough :nice
