Ok so far I've replaced all the fuses, battery, flasher relay and checked all the wiring in the headlight bucket. I'm officially stumped. Anybody else want to give an opinion before I go broke fixing a really stupid electrical gremlin? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

For the horn - what happens if you put 12 and ground directly to the contacts? If that doesn't make it go then the horn itself is bad. On May 20, 2014, at 15:29, Matthew Callender mcallend...@gmail.com wrote: Ohh and also my horn is not working, they all have to be related but I have no

So I have the EXACT same issues as you described on my 84 that I just bought. Everything worked for a few days then the blinkers stopped blinking and the rest. Did you ever find out what it was? I'm almost certain I need a flasher relay but I have no idea why/how that would cause my brake light
