Am I a happy camper or what! Both deuces now have headlights, turn signals and flashers going!
Thanks to Bjorn for writing so many helpful posts and his persona encouragement to me.
Don't forget to check those grounds!
OK, I have the trailer plug out. I took the electrical tape off, cleaned off the numbers on the wire and washed it down to clean it up.
I will strip back the wiring to put on a crimp connectors tomorrow. Then I will strip off the wiring on the ends of the cut harness.
Next weekend I will get...
OK, in working on my new deuce I came across the trailer plug wiring severed.
Someone bashed the rear crossmember in about four inches severing the cables. They are neatly cut.
How in the world do I splice them together? Is there a way of determining which wire is connected to the other...

Apparently, they use of the internal/external star washer is ignored at least some of the time. I replace them as I go.
I bought the internal/external star washers from Grainger Supply. Good folks to deal with.
FINAL weekend update. Chasing...

DANG! More bolts to clean/replace! :shock:
Update from the front: I changed out the turn signal to my other deuce. That first deuce had an issue with the right rear light blinking on turns but not flashing in unison with the other three. I found a...
Re: RE: Hey, Bjorn, Help! Pt. 2
I am going to sand down the steering column for a good connection on the turn signal and sand down the inner fender panel around the mounting hole for the flasher. New internal/external star washers and new bolts should do the trick on the flasher. I will see...
I take it that IF both units are working, my problem is still a ground probably in one or the other, blinker or turn signal switch.
I am doing pretty good for a guy who never read a diagram or held a multimeter, till I started reading your posts. :D
OK, I got the headlights working just right. I have the marker lights working. I put on a new flasher and new turn signal switch.
STILL NO TURN SIGNALS! I have put new internal/external washers on the light bases and the flasher. Still no flashing turn signal. No light on the turn signal...
OK, the headlight switch was bad. Replaced.
No turn or flasher lights working. I have power going into the flasher from the turn signal. I suspect a defective flasher, now.
I will check it tomorrow by replacing it.
At Norman, Oklahoma, a week ago. A new light switch by Friday and it should be good to go. In the coming weeks I will replace the rear frame crossmember put one new front boot on and possibly replace a rear seal. The tires appear fairly new, the cargo cover is new, the winch has recently been...
I do these things to help out the guys with the rings, not to make a living. I charge $50 for shipping where I make a couple of bucks on one and loose it on another but I do not have to spend time calculating the exact charges. I am about even, according to my guess.
The other problem is...
My builder says they will go up $10 to $110 plus $50 shipping, if anyone is still interested in acquiring one.
If there is some interest I will have another half dozen fabricated. The only question is whether or not there is still an interest.
This get rich scheme is working better than...
