My '73 has an issue where only one of the multiple gauge lights are working. The other ones are holding bulbs that look pretty good, with in-tact filaments. Those bulbs also work when I switch them to that one working light fixture as a test.
When I pull the bulbs from the non-working fixtures, I can get a test light to light up - so there is juice getting to those fixtures through the wiring. I tried using the hole/ground for the good/working light to try and get the non-ones to work there but they did not light there either. What's most likely the issue? |

Those spring loaded light sockets suck. I have had problems with good contact from them. Not sure how to make them function better.
