Re: 1964 GMC Model 1002 build journal
Decided to start attacking some of these electrical gremlins. The parking lights and turn signals mounted in the hood were non working, high beams were inoperable too. along with that no turn signal dash indicators. A quick look at the firewall connector, looked bad , cleaned it up but was making good contact when I finished. I ended up running individual ground wires from the parking light housing to the firewall. Everything works as it should. I have a sneaking suspicion that because of the way the park lenses clip in, they fail to keep contact electrically as the 55 years has come and went. The dimmer switch was kaput and replaced it and the melted connector, now all my T3s light and the little blue light in the dash does too. It was a good Sunday in the shop.
