hello, i have a 1923 that is showing positive to the headlamp plug. i dont see any wires that could be touching the metal plug connector. i tried gounding the lamp socket but the lights still would not turn on, im using 1133 bulbs with a single contact plug, Chevy Superior. thanks

If you have power to the supply side of the globe check all the ground contacts from the globe base to the battery. A quick check is to use a extra piece of wire to connect globe base to battery negative, if the light works you have some cleaning to do.

thank you,ill check it and report.

Update the inner wires were touching the bulb holder. I took one part and cut back fresh wire and on the other I made sure it was in straight. It's a modern type of contact but it works. And the buckets needed a ground wire. Thanks for the help.
