Tater Salad- Is this from a 57 bird, nothing seems to match. Anyone have a picture of a restored version of the front left junction box as a guide for me?

I had a similar problem. Make sure to have a ground on the light fixture. My complete fixture was removed and the trunk was painted with A rubberized coating. No ground. Also a duel element bulb needs to have separate contact. One for each filament. Removing the bulb and checking contact points are in tact. The previous owner Must have turned the base 180 degrees. The socket And bulb was not linking up perfectly. The bulb was in contact with both elements. It’s easier working with a friend. I hope this helpsHello;
I am new to the classic Thunderbird having recently "traded" my 1930 Model A for a 57 T bird. However I have a rear brake light/Turn signal light that has me stumped. The right front & rear turn signals work as does the brake light and tail light. The left is a different story. The front left turn signal works. The left rear tail light works. The left rear brake and turn signal does not. I have cleaned the contacts, changed the bulb and checked the connections I could find....no joy. My electrical experience is pretty dismal so my ideas are pretty thin. Anything else I should try?
Once the wheel is off is it easy to replace the canceller? Mine has never worked and it doesn't move smoothly by hand.Thanks all. I replaced the turn signal switch. All works fine now. Switch was just worn out I guess.
