Ever have the fuel pump kick on when you turn on the marker lights? how about the headlights deciding to work sporadically coupled with no brake lights or turn signals...
Not sure this is worth trying to track or chase down. I have all the wiring diagrams and everything matches, so I know i have the correct wires. I am thinking my headlight switch is bad and possibly a few other items. I am thinking it might be easier to rewire these functions but willing to give it a few more tries if anyone has been down this road before. Any thoughts or good threads I should study? thank you ![]() So many helpful fixes, down to 1 thing left, the turn signals, detailed diagnosis on my last post... |

The fusepanel change to bladed style is not an upgrade.
Just clean and maintain the factory fusepanel and you should have no problems. |

Thanks Jeff, You just saved me 155.00 I am going to clean them and purchase some new fuses. is there a better way to clean? crc contact cleaner, or should I use a wire brush? |

DeOxit is my go to cleaner. Use a small wire brush also, especially if visually oxidized. |

Update...
Ok so everyone has helped me get brakes, headlights, high beams, emergency flashers, running lights, markers and fix all the grounds. I had to clean the fuses and replace some. clean bulbs and follow quite a bit of wiring schematics. Also a big thank you to all who spent time sending everything. Sooo.. I only have 1 issue left.... TURN Signals, they used to work when all my grounds where messed up, now nothing. The emergency flashers work and Fuse 9/11 is all good and conductive, but no flashing of the turn signals.. I also noticed the brake light power does not work (for now I ran a wire from fuse 9 to the pedal switch and its all good. Could this be the relay? the turn signal stalk? power not getting to the column? I thought power for the brakes was direct from the fuse? I am at a loss as to what to tear into, last week i did have the right side flasher working. Any help would be great. |
