About Jesse Moser Expertise I specialize in the Plymouth Duster from 1970 to 1973, allthough 1974 through 1976 Dusters are nearly identical. 340s, Twisters, Feather Dusters (the cars!), whatever "A" body Duster you have, I can probably give you some info.
Experience I own a 1973 Duster with the Twister options package. I've been searching for information on this specific car since 1995 and have acquired much general and specific knowledge in the process.

Question The problem is the right rear turn signal and brake light do not work. I have checked and changed everything from lamps to fuses, plus the circuit box. I have also tried changing the flasher. I still can't find the problem to correct it. HELP
Answer Charley, electrical problems can be very frustrating. This first thing you need to do is to keep a clear head whenever you're working on it. Don't be afraid to walk away. This being said, if you don't have one, get a test light. There should be sets available with a test light and continuity tester very inexpensively at your local auto parts store. The first thing to checkis if you have power to the socket. Ground the test light to the body and probe the wire going to the socket. If there's no power (with the brakes/turn signal on), you've most likely got a broken wire. If there is, it's most likely a bad ground. Trace the ground wire back to its source, usually on the body, and check for a break. If you don't see one, first disconnect the wire and check it for continuity by attatching the clip to the end of the round wire and probing along with the continuity light until you reach the socket or the light doesn't come on anymore. If the light stops lighting, the wire needs to be replaced. If the wire checks out O.K., clean the end of the wire and the body area that it contacts and put it back together. This should solve the problem. If it doesn't, or you need me to clarify something, please get back to me.
