Hello to All,
Well, the harness is 98% in and tested. Here are the results. Tail lights
good, brake lights good, license plate good, panel lights good, speedo and
tach lights good, panel start bottom good, ignition light good, solenoid
button good. Now for the laughs. Wiper motor runs with switch in the off
position and blows a fuse with the switch on, go Alex. The front flashers,
horns, and head lights are not mounted yet. But I have power to the wires.
When I hook up the lights, they do not work. When I ground the holders to a
ground they do work, so I am assuming the lights need to be attached to the
body. However, one flasher flashes without the steering flasher switch wired
in and the other lights like a light. The headlights pose another issue. I
have upgraded to halogens, so I installed a relay as prescribed by a reliable
TR3 technical site. Need to work on this one. I have 4 red wires coming from
my steering stator tube. Oh joy! I think I am close. While I am working on
these wires I might attempt a startup this weekend. Wide open for
suggestions.
