    So my 75 LDO Maverick was totaled by a teenage girl who tried to drive her 2013 Focus under it. I replaced it with a 72 Comet. The only tools one of the previous owners had was wire cutters, electrical tape and butt connectors. The lights either flash normal or they barely dim at all when the signals or hazards are engaged. You can never predict which one it will be. I would like to pull the tail light harness from the Maverick and replace the one in the Comet. Does anyone know if the harness unplugs anywhere between the front and the rear or is it a continuous connection all the way to the fuse block?
