Right - effect vs affect ? How will the effects of a bad ground affect my attitude? Only time will tell. Effectively, that's just another mystery.

Yes. Somehow the switch did get moved while at the garage. That was certainly a big part of the problem. However, interestingly even though one bulbs tested okay for continuity it did not work in the socket. I replaced the bulb and brake and signal lights worked again. The mystery of the...

No chance of giving up here. This was a small but annoying issue that has been mostly solved. I have had no formal mechanical training and what little hands on have goes back 30+ years. A lot of re-remembering going on. I would sure like to break the tend of missing that one detail that...

Slowly but surely I am learning the mysteries of how things actually work. I have been using the same garage for years and have always been satisfied with their service, attitude and fees. This is the first time I brought an electrical issue. They did not charge - said I had basically done...

I bought an 85 1009. I have no brake or signal lights. When the key is off there is power to the fuses. When the key is turned on there is no power. The mechanic working on it thinks it has something to do with the 24/12 power conversion. Any ideas as to what I should be looking for?
