You'll need to have 12 VDC to get the alternator excited. This can be a seperate switch, or use a 24 VDC relay off your ignition switch and use the contact closure on that to excite the alternator. Wire #57 would be a good point to energize your relay from.

Leave Mama at home and take the kids for a ride. Does you Deuce cab have three sets of belts?

Another pesky item to check would be the front wheel drive swich at the bottom of the dashboard. I recently replaced an O ring in mine to stop an air leak.

Here is a link to the "spider harness": 5 Wire Instrument Cluster Harness, 8376502 The circuit breaker on the firewall protects the horn wiring, if you have more than one, the others would be for the heater, or some other accessory. The only fuse on a deuce is under the cap on the fuel tank...

You could have a wiring or grounding issue. Do your gauges work?

Go for it and let us know how it worked out. I guess if I had a brand new broken switch, I'd look into repairing it also. Good Luck!

We have been spanked all day by the April Fool's jokester, hope you're doing the same.

Not easily, you'd be further ahead just replacing the 3 lever switch.

Welcome from the Plains of Colorado Miss M880 Kate! Here are some TM's (Technical Manuals) for you and your Beau to read.

I will also keep you in mind.

I'll keep you in mind, someone in our Club may need a 5 ton camo cargo cover.

Chris, I have a cover that will fit your truck. It is a one piece vinyl cover and in good shape. The only problem is the zipper is off track. If you can fix or have the zipper fixed, we maybe can make a deal. PM me if interested. Jonathan Denver, Colorado, USA.

No need to apologize Drew, you were just taking care of business. Thank you for getting to task and taking the corrective actions necessary to keep the site safe. Jonathan
