Sweet!  You won't be disappointed.

[brockbuilt85]

Three Link Rear

Fix Heater

Finish Lights

so i was driving this turdbox tonight and i didnt have any tail lights or dash lights, checked the fuses and the dimmer switch, all hooked up and good, took dimmer switch off and jumped the terminals, still nothing. i know the dash lights worked before, not so sure about the tail lights. any ideas?

[fordh8r]

Typically dash lights won't work until the taillights are working. Fix the taillight problem and you will or should have dash lights again. No blown fuse for the taillights?

nope all fuses good. ill have to look into the tail lights. stupid crack head wiring

[brockbuilt85]

have not fixed the lights yet. but i did get one of these : http://www.marlincrawler.com/air-electronics/compressors/arb-air-compressor

so i messed around with the tail lights, i got rid of the crack head wiring at the lights for ghetto tow lights. but before i did all that (it needed to be done) i checked my fuse box, and turns out i have no power at the tail light fuse. sooooo, any ideas?

Turn on the headlight switch.   

[brockbuilt85]

Turn on the headlight switch.   

har har har.
on or off still no juice. my high beams also dont work. of course they never have and the dash lights did. maybe the dimmer switch is bad?

[fordh8r]

Dimmer switch is a possibility. Check to see if you have power to the headlight switch first. then go from there. 

[brockbuilt85]

the low beams turn on, and when i switch to high beams the indicator on the dash comes on but no  high beams. ill check to see if i have power at the dimmer, but i would think the dimmer would be after the fuse block on the circuit, and if i have no power at the fuse block, then its some where before that?

[fordh8r]

The Headlight circuit doesn't typically go through the interior Fuse Block. I would check the high beam circuit at the dimmer. As for Dash and Taillights, those start at the switch then to the Taillights Fuse and from the load side of the Taillights fuse to the Dash lights Fuse. Be sure that you also don't have a bad relay in the under hood fuse block. That's also where you may have one of those large fuses that could be blown. All good stuff to check.   

[brockbuilt85]

thank you sir, i will check all this next time i get the chance!

[fordh8r]

De nada!

[brockbuilt85]

still nothing on the lights i think i have a bad switch, everything up front looks like its good but i dindt test the relays, not really sure how. did find some other things that i need to fix tho, oil leak:


and motor mount bolts, OOPS:

but i did take out the cruise control that was taking up room and replace it with something fun:

[fordh8r]

Man, I wish we lived closer by each other so we could just fix all your wiring issues. Maybe if you don't get this all squared away soon we can hook up on an outing and get this all figured out.

dude, that would be fantastic. im sure it has something to do with the fact that most of the wiring is all meth rigged together, im fixing it as i go (im even doing it right and sodering with shrink wrap now ) but i feel like im polishing a turd hahaha. right now my focus has switched to fixing my motor mount, i can still wheel during the day haha.

I have this some problem with my 87 p.u. I changed the radio and all hell brook loose
no tail lights no dash lights,I got onto Toyota Tech and found out there is a illumination wire
that you need to bypass so I did that and I stopped blowing my tail light fuse BUT still no
dash lights replaced all the dash bulbs and the dimmer still no dash lights???

Sorry for the Hijack

no worries man. the thing came with no radio, an the dash lights worked a little while back, but after bouncing it off a few rocks, something came lose somewhere. dont know if the tail lights ever worked tho.

[fordh8r]

Well, if a trip off the mountain is worth your while I'd sure be glad to help ya out. 

[brockbuilt85]

it would be if i had a tow rig, dunno if id be able to make it back up the mountain

[fordh8r]

Well, I'm game if you are.

[brockbuilt85]

well, good to know! haha
so i tested the rear tail lights for voltage, with it in parking light position, no voltage, with it all on, driver tail light has 24v and the passenger has 32v? geesh.

[fordh8r]

Better check your meter, Dude! You only have a 12v battery in that thing.

[brockbuilt85]

ha.
regardless, there is juice back there with the switch on. bad ground somewhere?

[fordh8r]

Are you sure that reading you got wasn't 2.4v and 3.2v? if so, then you don't really have juice back there. It isn't possible to read higher voltage than your system voltage (12v). Just saying.

[brockbuilt85]

no i had it on the wrong setting, mv i think. i dont remember now. when switch was off, nothing and when switch was on i got something. doesnt that account for something lol

[fordh8r]

In either case, the lights don't work. So if it's not 12v+ then you still have a problem. 

[brockbuilt85]

would that indicate the switch is good? or does it mean i still got nothin? im tempted to rip it all out! well, maybe i should just get a tow rig and trailer and green sticker that turd box haha
