I just picked this truck up this week; it has some things going for it and against it....

My most aggravating issue is that the brights do not come on at all ever and the indicator does not either.
Whoever owned this before me redid a few things under the dash; like an added switch that controls the lights with key on or off. And a push button starter circuit.

I think that the rewire job on the lights is the cause of my nightmare but i have no freaking idea how to rewire the thing myself.

Can anybody throw up some pics of their wiring under the steering wheel cover and maybe below the dash?

Thanks!

Hmmmm thanks.

I did actually figure it out. Toggle switch the previous dancing-monkey (owner) wired up crossed some wires; cut it out and the brights work!
