Default Re: 55 Ford Fairlane 12 volt conversion problems

On the left front inner fender a bit behind the headlight is a junction block for all the lights on the front of the car. The bullet style connections get loose and oxidized. Clean and snug them up as needed.

Photo two.... a copy of the first photo that I drew on to refer to when reconnecting all the lighting wires on my '55. The wire positions as marked in yellow are probably NOT exactly the way Ford placed them when new, but it worked for me when attempting the job after 10pm.

Find the Green w/ black stripe wire for the high beams coming to this block from the dashboard and clean up its connections to the wires out to bulbs. There is a similar but smaller junction block on the right front inner fender for the lights on that side of the car.
