Angry Before I do something stupid!

I have a 64f100. I have one problem with the lighting. All works fine till I turn on the drivers side blinker. It works till I step on the brake. Then the blinker quits till I take my foot off the brake.

Ok, Oh might Wizards! What do I do to fix it?

You most likely have a bad ground in the taillight, a faulty ground can do weird things.

Clean the bulb socket and the outside of the bulb on the driver's side rear. It is a ground problem, and the ground goes through the brass part of the bulb, through the tang on the outside of the socket and then through a short ground wire bolted to the body.
