Both license plate light fixtures had a lot of corrosion and dirt. They really need more intervention. I would like to try POR-15 only it should be white -- heat from the bulb might be a problem. All I did today was clean the contacts and the case where the ground wire touches, and that took quite a while.
When the painter installed the lights he did not get the grounds right, including here. The ground connectors were under the plate nuts, making a very unreliable ground path. The right way is to put them between the case and the body, which means they are on the outside of the body. That is why they are bent so strangely.
The problem with the brake lights turned out to be a connector at the brake light switch that had fallen off. Now the question is why it fell off. Time will tell.
Next week the duct tape business in front gets fixed, then this car goes back on the road.
As I was writing this, CSI: Las Vegas had a BMW coupe like mine. Sure dies look glamerous. Way cool!
