I've found that it pays to use Google liberally when you have a question on this stuff. While the answers here are valuable, it sometimes takes a while to get to exactly what you need. And you might have to piece together 4 different posts until you get the combination that will fix your...

'Ya mean besides spending 3+ days tracing the !@#$%&$%^& shorts and bad switches to the stop and turn lights? Oh. I already did that thread. nevermind.:whistle:

While you're working on the connector (and I'd agree w/ Emmado), you might want to put a test light to see if you're getting juice to the switch (like FastTruck said.) Looks like you have the advantage of the numbering tags. If you do replace the connector, don't lose those. I've attached a...

I haven't had that connector apart to study but if the wires are soldered inside a hollow tube, you might be able to unsolder the broken wires, pull them out, clear the tube and resolder new ones. Done it lots of times on microphone cables. How'd you get the switch open? Thanks. Steve

"...the PS Magazine page on it that is located on the old site at: http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.p...view_photo.php..." The link from this excerpt of CGarbee's post is broken. Does anybody know how to get to the PS magazine article? Thanks & Happy New Year. Steve

Did the tires & doors look OK? Might be worth a ride down the NJTPK for me. Steve

The way I taught my wife (aka Soldier B from my perspective - Soldier A from hers) was to move the lower right handle counter clockwise from 5 o'clock to 4 and hold, then switch the top one from 12 to the right to either 1 or 2 o'clock depending on what she wanted turned on (see diagram.) Then...

Here's another version of the 3 way. Made it easier for me. Steve

Happy New Year - All Fixed The main problem was all the crud on the circuit board in the switch. Back the the day, we called this a 'flux short' or 'carbon short' when a tube blew in your Fender BandMaster amp and splattered the board. Spent the warm, sunny afternoon with a nail board, pen...

"...My door is only 6'6"! Kind of a tight fit though...." I wanna see the YouTube of you driving it in. No fair winching. Steve

I haven't been hands on very much in vehicle mechanics and electrical but I've spent 45+ years with electricity from the band business to computers. It can do all kinds of weird stuff. For example, I haven't ruled out a hidden gap inside that pinned connector in the turn signal switch or...

So I just got done ordering a turn signal switch. But not before getting some success and a clear indication that at least part of the problem was in the switch. After cleaning the board, I got my right rear turn, hazard and stops back strong. Initially they were weak and intermittant and...

Yep. Will post some update pictures later. They're on it. Steve

Well, I got the turn signal switch apart today and it definitely took a hit but nothing is really melted or obviously shorted. That light still works but it's black as the devil. I'm going back out to go over the components w/ circuit board cleaner and some contact abrasive because the crap...

Your monitor will probably lie to you about the tint but here's the mfr link: river rock 2139-10 Paint - Benjamin Moore river rock Paint Color Details If you're near a BM dealer they should have the chip: 2139-10, I think. I used it as a formula jump off for making 24087 but it was the...

"...the effectiveness is dramatically reduced if behind glass..." - 319 Makes sense but I didn't consider that. Outside she goes. One of my friend's jeeps has it outside too and he's had it for some time. No trouble. Steve

Good timing for this topic. I use a 2 liter Pepsi bottle but found out in last night's 55 mph wind storm that I've gotta trim it higher up so it fits tighter. After the 3rd time, I quit putting it back on. I like that 3" rubber pipe cap idea. Might even have one . . . Steve

No problem. I actually did a form of that with a test probe and a meter last weekend. That's how I figured out that there was a problem up front sending juice to the back and started with the 3 Lever Switch. This time, I plan to check the turn signal switch internally with a probe after I...

G-Force - I followed your explanation through on the schematics I have and it helped even more. My diagrams are fine for this. I did pick up the letters on the turn signal switch so I hope I can locate them when I open it up. I lean toward the switch, too but I'm not gonna ignore the ground...
