DH had informed me a couple of months ago that my tail no longer lit up (I know, sounds like a personal problem 
). I assumed it was a bad ballast and am prepared to see about ordering a Glitch (whom I understand is fighting the C battle ).
So, whilst (tip o' the hat to you, 98lincmk7lsc) checking out the interior lighting on my Mark, I used my remote starter fob to unlock my car and noticed my neon flashed. So I had DH come out and check out my flashing tail, to which he responded that yeah, it flashes but doesn't stay on when braking (which was just reconfirmed...when I depress the brake pedal, the neon does briefly flash).
So, thinking ballasts and florescent lights (which is the only real experience I have with ballasts), if the problem is a bad ballast, wouldn't the neon not light...at all? Or does neon work differently than florescent (OK, does neon work differently than mercury vapor?)
So, boys...teach me something.
