Electrical Fits 3

The truck is driving.

I went back though the electrical system and figured out why I haven’t had any tail lights. It was the turn signal switch. I have the switch temporarily fixed and the new one will be here on Wednesday. I went to the salvage yard on Saturday and picked up a good instrument cluster. I painted the needles and replaced the lens. My gauges are working except the amp guage. I need to do a once over on the wires and see if I have something plugged in wrong. I even have a working fuel gauge now.

Once I got the brake light ploblem figured out they wouldn’t turn off. It ended up that my new brake light switch was bad. I had to make a run to the parts store and swap it.

I also replaced the alternator and the wiring for the alternator.

What I have left to do electrically:
-amp gauge
-replace the heater fan
-install new turn signal switch
-wiring for radio
