Hey James,
The signal light mystery is solved...as I told you I was on the way to the AutoZone get the dielectric grease, got the grease,(8 bucks...kinda high priced for a little tube), anyhow, I pulled the bulb, and those little posts, I mentioned that one was worn down. Well it seems that the post is supposed to act like a little springy snap bump, its a kinda round protruding hump that depresses when you twist the housing ring. One of my flat drills made an excellent tool for prying that up so it makes a fresh contact. I kept the grease applied it all around were I could some in a terminal connection.
Thanxs

Brad
