Bought these light from Speedway they are NOT LEDS.... Instructions states :Black wire on the light hooks to Tail light wire...White wire on the light hooks to stop and turn signal wires PROBLEM turn signals on left or right positions both light blink I figured Feeding back on stop light wire,,,,Disconnected stop light wire from both hook up points, turn lights work as they should any ideas on hooking this up so as to have brake lights and turn signals

Both your stop and signal lights are controlled by your signal light switch...Sounds like you have something wired wrong coming out of the switch. What kind of switch are you using. If its a stock GM switch they have pretty standard color coding. Refer the the attached diagram. If its aftermarket you'll either have to refer to the manufactures diagram of use an ohm meter to hunt down the correct wires but the principle will be the same. The break light goes to the signal light switch and it then distributes the power to the lights.

using early model Monte Carlo steering column and after market harness,,,at one time had it working correctly until I removed rear lights to primer tail gate and roll pan today....

Fatn'low, sounds like it might be a ground problem. If it worked before you took them off and primed, it might not be grounding through the new primer, just a guess.

3rd brake light wire was ran to the back without thinking I hooked it to the turn signals wires,,,,thought about it a while and terminated the 3rd brake light wire at the rear of the cab and cut it loose from the turn wire and discarded the wire,,,,realized turn signals and stop light are on the same wire,,,every thing works as it should....so so simple got a senior moment.....this is the 6th street rod I've done hope #7 doesn't kick my arse...lol ::) ::) ::)
Took the '40 to the Glass shop today getting closer to selling it
