Hello everyone! And thank you for the welcome!! Im sorry i took so long to reply! Ill post some pictures tomorrow! Currently, my biggest issue is that the tail lights arent on when the head lights are, brake and reverse lights work. And the license plate lights dont work either. Ive done a bit of work to this truck in the past couple of weeks. The previous owner was about as much of a mechanic as my 5 year old. He replaced the fuel pump (gaping hole in the bed) i cut a section of bed from the junk yard and riveted to cover. I replaced a control board in the driver tail light, the drivers inside door handle, fuel filter. Idler and tensioner pulley, and serpentine belt so far. The rear strut was rusted out of its mount.(yet to fix) the exhaust was cut off just after the cats. The wipers stopped working, but my buddy got that fixed by cleaning the terminals. The passenger windshield sprayer doesnt spray but driver side does weakly. And the wipers are parked too high on the windshield. My main concerns are the plate light and tail lights right now. I also noticed the little green logo on the left of the dash is on when lights are off, but off when lights are on. Seems backwards to me?
