I would double-check the A-coded wires behind the fuse blocks. I had similar issues. Do your fuse blocks have the paper labels that identify the circuits? Mine has them, but I saw another FLU419 where they were missing. If yours are missing, let me know and I'll send you copies.

I have the little labels behind the fuses if that’s what you’re asking.
Wondering if I may have one of the single wires I asked you about behind the blocks incorrect…. First thing I’m going to try is double checking the wires to the turn signal switch. If you have time, if you could shoot me a pic of the back of your switch that would help since we have the same harness! I could match up wire colors then

Update on wiring!
everything works!!!! All lights, all blinkers, blackout lights, hazards, air shifter everything!!!

now I just have an air leak under the 4 end bolts of the air shifter… nothing majir but I wanna fix it. There are two metal gaskets under there which I doubt I will be able to find.

anyone know if I can just use some heavy duty gasket sealer? It is right where one of the air lines connects to the air shifter.

Just from my general experience, I don't see why you couldn't... but I've never actually seen the part you're talking about. The bigger it is and the further apart the bolts are, the less confident I would be in getting a good pressure seal. I say use your best judgement - it might be worth the effort to try to find the correct gaskets... or make your own out of the correct thickness sheet metal if you have a plasma cutter.

Here’s a schematic and parts breakdown of what I’m talking about. It’s #5 on the diagram

If you look at TM 5 2420-224-34 on Page 617 / (15/65), you will notice that it lists the spacers as packing. I don't remember the details when I assembled mine, but it appears that the spacers go under the cover without any other packing or gasket. I would surmise that the sealing occurs between the innermost spacer and the main assembly. If you use sealing compound, I recommend placing it around the edges of the innermost spacer only since this is obviously the only area that could leak air. I would try Permatex #3 AKA Aviation-Form-A-Gasket. Make sure only a thin film of sealant is used because you obviously don't want any of the sealant to enter the area where the piston slides. It is interesting that the assembly directions for this small cover doesn't mention the metal spacers or sealant. As mentioned, I don't remember the details when assembling mine, but I don't remember using any sealant. However, I didn't pre-test mine with compressed air prior to final assembly like you did, so mine might be leaking air as well, but it works fine anyway.

Just checking in because it's been a while. I've been living at the new property, getting things done and haven't had a lot of time for the internet. But I figured it's time to let you guys know I'm not dead.

However, the front hydraulic pump belt on my SEE is dead - or close enough. I've been using it a lot, and now the belt is squeeling and the loader is weak. I may just need to retension it, but I've ordered a couple replacement belts for it just in case. If I do end up needing to replace it, I'll upload a video to YouTube documenting the process (I'm sure I'll **** it up and you guys will all laugh at me).

Also, I've decided I need to replace these Pirelli tires. They're fine for road use, but I don't use this thing on the road and I've gotten it stuck and had to pull it out with my dozer a couple times (still learning where the muddy/sketchy parts are on this property). Anyway, does anyone have recommendations for the absolute biggest, nastiest, most aggressive mudders that would work? I know most of the things 'truck guys' might recommend, but if you'd recommend something different, let me know.

I was looking at the Alliance 398 MPT, but was disappointed to find that they don't seem to come in a 20" rim size. Too bad, they seem like they'd be perfect for on and off road use.

I bought BKT tractor tires through simpletire.com 500 each free shipping. Super aggressive.
