    Brake Light Socket Issue - ?

    My time in the barrel for this one. If you put a new bulb in where the prongs are reversed from where the bulb will hold, it will light up for brake or hazards. Installed correctly, it will not work- just the tail lamp glows. Since it lights up, I am assuming power/wiring is good and the...

    TCC Switch Wiring TH350C

    Can anyone tell me if the 2 green wires go in the front and the blue with black stripe goes in the back of the TCC vacuum switch plug? Discovered tonight these were loose - I suspect this is correct but do not know. Loose means like hanging out of the back of the connector... Pic taken from...

    Has anyone superglued the copper contacts down on the circuit board ?

    As the title said, I am curious. I changed the circuit board with a LMC one a few years back, and probably wasted my time as I wonder if the plastic gauge holder is just worn where the bulb holders fit. I saved the old one, and here we are again as now the upper LH speedo light will not come...

    How do you remove the power lock switch?

    Hello, All ! The truck is the 80 Suburban in my signal- the driver's side power lock switch seems to have given up the ghost for the lock position. Unlock works fine, and so does the passenger side switch. I'd like to try cleaning it, or if worse comes to worse swapping the 2 sides. Not sure...

    NP205 4wd Indicator Switch Question

    From what I am seeing, the 4wd indicator switch is normally open. If that is correct, can I just put a piece of wire in the electrical connector that plugs on it to complete the circuit and test to see if the dash light comes on? I may be 100% wrong, which is why I ask. Their tech note 2...

    Anyone know what this in dash harness and bulb is ?

    Happy 4th ! Trying to get some freedom today from non working cluster lights.:D This is on a 1980 4wd suburban. This was plugged in to the high beam bulb socket on the cluster - NOT correct. Put in a bulb and socket - high beam indicator works now. I can only guess this is for the 4wd...

    Well, this sucks. Broken Brake Flare Nut

    Changing the front brake lines should have been easy - whoops. Plus side is that it is still sealed, so driveable. Downside is that it is probably gonna require pro help - a lift, and flaring tools. Womp womp... Suggestions are of course welcome. TIA - Britt
