Back In the Saddle Again

That is the switch in the column you highlighted. The flasher supplies power intobthe turn and emergency circuits from a whole different fuse.
27 and 16 are the inputs for emergency and turn.

So maybe the issue was the switch. Thats the blade like plug on the column correct?

 

[Wes Harden]

Yes the blade plug. You can plug a new switch in before tearing apart to test

I wonder if it just wasn't connected properly because i did unhook it to check the plugs on the top of the column and replugged it back in.

 

[Wes Harden]

It is possible some of thr terminals were not well connected.

We made the trek. Absolutely no problems at all.

I am very proud of this truck and what it is capable of doing. It didn't miss a beat and outperformed my expectations greatly. I couldnt have built such a spectacular machine without @Wes Harden and everyone here on CK5 and I am so greatful for this forum and its members.

My new adventure is starting. The smell of evergreen when we came down the pass had me very nostalgic. The old timers at the gas station smell like long cut copenhagen and stale alcohol. This may sound unapeeling but its a smell that really brings me back. As we came into Kootenai County there was a small of burning timber from everyones fireplaces and I knew I was back home. I guess I wasn't meant for the desert after all. I gave it a good shot though.

Yeah, im born and raised in the PNW. The desert life was fun but just not for our family. Not where I want to raise the boy. He needs the hunting, fishing and mountains like I had growing up. Him being cooped up indoors for 2 long summers was pretty hard on him when he just wants to play outside.

Yeah I grew up in the city, in a war cooped up inside but reading and learning then we moved to the hills when I was 15 and embraced the outdoors, hunting, fishing, foraging, and raising our own animals, growing some food and I wouldn't have it any other way for my kids.
First one turned out great, the 2 boys are thriving

 

[Wes Harden]

Glad you made it with no drama.
Enjoy the new adventure.
Get out and grsb it don't settle
