Hmmm ill check...But its only my horn and front turn signals that aren't working....the rears one do....my headlights do...marker lights do.

 

id check the connector an then pull out your test light check the sockets are getting power follow it back also check your fuses

electrical in the auto biz gets the big bucks for labor hours as it takes time to find the issues

 

I did check the fuses, they all looked good
Yeah...think we got a multimeter somewhere...

 

even just a light bulb an a couple wires is a primitive test light

some of the old toy light sockets the get corrosion in there an lose connection to the bulbs horn connectors corrode its a matter of start at the problem an work back to the switch

also check your grounds, that can only help everything including engine

 

Yeah, been trying to find where it grounds at, can't seem to find it.... You have any ideas?

 

i believe theres a ground for the front half of the harness around the drivers fender i KNOW there's one on the alternator harness before it plugs into the main harness around the coil mount area

 

I believe the horn mount acts as a ground, I will have to look into it and see. Been checking in on your thread. The blinkers usually get some bad corrosion in them. Look on my 86 Runner build on the last few pages and you can see what I had to go thru on that.

Glad you found which port for the tach, I will give that a try and it would give a cleaner look. Let us know how your presentation goes. You took on a big challenge and have done well. It is a rewarding experience in my book. Great job!!

 

Thanks terry, presenting today i think, and your right....its pretty easy....judt takes patience and time. But let me know on the setup of the tach...im curious haha its probably just a thing where there is more than way to do it

 

Well guys...i feel like an idiot....i checked everything except for the bulbs lol.... still haven't figured out what's up with the horn....i just fixed that back a few months ago...but the turn signals up front work!

 

as an auto mechanics instructor of mine long ago said

if its gona be one thing it'll be the last thing you check or the easiest

 

Got the master cylinder bled today....might hit it with some rattle can to get rid of the rusty look.

 

Wow, great work, great build PERIOD! you said you got master cylinder painted, I missed whether it's the stock or bigger 1... Sorry I haven't been here man... just hadn't checked new threads for a while. ... Can't barely get caught up with my own plans, let alone execute them, lol. Very impressive man!

 

Its just a stock master cylinder....the one that was on the cab i swapped seemed to be faulty. And i havent painted it yet....maybe this evening. Also thanks, mark(it is mark right) one day long from now i hope to have a build like yours!

 

It happens to all of us. Usually the easiest things will get you. Just a steady progress and you will get it done before you know it. Enjoy each little fix. It is one more fix closer to being done with it.

 

Yep, hopefully bleeding the brakes saturday! Supposed to be almost 70....c mon its winter time haha....then ill be able to cruise it aroumd the back road til i get inspection.

 

I think I am starting to like this global warming thing. Freezing my butt of isnt for me. 70 degrees would be nice. We were almost at 70 yesterday.

 

Haha terry....its okay until we get those nice 100 degree days with 80% and 90% humidity

 

Got to finally drive it saturday, bled my brakes a little and got the master cylinder installed. Definitely need to bleed them some more but i got to drive it!

 

yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa

 

Wahoo!! Bet the feeling was great. Congratulations. There will be a few bugs you will need to workout, but one by one you will get them.
