yep its me again with another electrical issue. I hope this one is as simple as i think. I recently ordered a bulb from melvins (see picture below) and everytime i try to hook it up it wont light up an it causes my radio to cut out. Is this the right bulb because to me it looks like the bulb should have two prongs on the bottom of it and not just one and then the outside being the other connection.
to further add to the help is park number is 97 from Melvins and i double checked and yep looks just like the picture so not Melvins fault. The question still hangs though wrong bulb for this bulb socket?
Not totally unheard of but Fords generally don't use a double contact socket... Yes you need a double contact bulb... Assuming there are two wires going to socket, the equivalent to a 97 double contact bulb is a 1178... Hurry and you can buy 10 @ a buck a pop on ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1178-Clear-...ash=item3f5bbdaab3:g:VmQAAOxydlFS8ZrB&vxp=mtr
Thanks Tom! I did look into it and on rock auto the 74 maverick has a double contact bulb so I ordered the pack of 10. That should fix the problem i checked and there is current getting to the socket. Guess i should have looked a bit deeper before i ran onto here for you all to save my butt again.
