    Brake warning light coming on...

    " Well, after checking the fluid for the upteenth time, and pushing the pedal all the way back up into position, its finally off. Sensor for the fluid must be getting intermittent. How full is that fluid reservoir supposed to be anyway ? It seemed totally full.

    Brake warning light coming on...

    It is the red brake light warning lower R corner of the instrument panel. I've read a lot of posts regarding the ABS light issues, thank God its not that.... I did fool with the pedal, going down and ALL the way up several times, nothing seems to help.

    My cool driving light setup

    Ah, but you see, if you tap the headlight wire, you are drawing that power to drive the relay coil. That is what I'm trying to avoid, in some cases, you can't draw power from a circuit without causing problems later on....Difficult to anticipate what problems might happen, especially with ECMs...

    My cool driving light setup

    I have heard about the problems with the headlight switch, that is why my fog light setup uses a relay and only draws its power from the firewall terminal block. So far my headlight switch is working fine knock on wood. If I was to go the 4 light ON setup, I'd definitely use a couple...

    My cool driving light setup

    Well, whenever I connect to some other GM circuit already part of the wiring harness, I want to affect that circuit as little as possible. Sometimes in the past, I've used some signal from some circuit, and everything seems fine, but two weeks later, 850 miles from home, you find out the...

    My cool driving light setup

    I wanted two things in my driving light project. Good bright halogen lights ( 60+ watts ), and protection against leaving them on by mistake. I came up with the circuit below. The chip turns on the relay ONLY if the driving light switch is ON AND the headlights are ON. My truck has a...

    Ah, I do see a little module down there, right above the 4X4 indicator light, is that the one ? Is it common for them to stick, or do I need to replace that guy ?

    Possible problem with new KYB shocks

    The Point of Almost contact is way less than a millimeter clearance, depending upon my eyesight and the brightness of the flashlight. Won't this contact at times ? I mean the lower mount bolt goes through a rubber bushing, right ? Sure wish I would've bought these at the dealership or...

    Aftermarket extended towing mirrors question

    FYI for everyone, I did buy the recommended mirrors, and they work great ! Switch wiring was little hard to figure out since my '94 does not have power mirrors as an option, and of course removing / re-installing the inside door panel sucked big time. I ended up using Org out of the...

    I removed my old leaking shocks, and installed these new kyb shocks. The KYBs are Gas-A-Just, Kayaba Industry Co Ltd model No. KG5479. Midrange price, definitely not the cheap ones. Ordered online from Shockwarehouse. Problem is, there is an ALMOST mechanical conflict on the lower...

    Air shock kit question

    ========================================================= Ah, I see, the Timbrens are almost a clone of the Firestone. Same exact idea, they are mounted above the axle, and only contact frame when you really have a load on... So really maybe I'll just swap out the leaky shocks with good...
