Hi Lorenzo,
As I understand it AC is Alternating Current and DC is Direct Current.Yesterday I used an ohm meter and applied it to the yellow wire from the engine case and got current to the green wire at the taillight,then I connected the two wires at the brake light switch I got power at the black wire and green wire at the brake light. In my mind that tells me the tail light is on when the engine is running and the brake light is on also when the brake light switch is in the closed position (pin compressed and brake pedal not being applied).
The tail lamp has been modified at some point and had a single filament bulb and socket in it,would this not supposed to be a dual filament bulb and socket originally?
