Why would they wire it this way

OK- You got me! I'm Jewish, and our Chanukkah bush didn't have blinking lights, just candles. All seriousness aside though: No such bulb exists for our TR dashboards.

It's a good thing I don't have to pee cause that's funny!!! I agree that no bulb like that is used in our cars. Just some useless trivia I have stored...I'm still laughing!!

I shoulda had a field fix harness last October when I was stranded 80 miles away with a non working alternator. I chanced it and made it home safe though.

And yeah xmas lights are shunted....don't think they used to be that way.

I know this thread is old but I've had this problem twice with a connection in my dash. I take it apart do nothing put it back together and it works for a year or so. It has a resistor on the socket. I want to add a resistor between an ignition source and the brown wire to the alternator. Has anyone tried this?
