You put them on and they just stay on, they don't flash. Its quite erratic so sometimes they do, most of the time they don't. Its 6v. Is it the relay? I know with 6v clean ground wires is a must, does have anything to do with that?

Thanks. Can someone tell me anything about the tail lights wiring on a '63 Splitty Van? All I have is 3 wires going to the housing and no earth! The housing doesn't look like its earthing anywhere (I think its plastic) :alien
Anyone has a wiring diagram?
