Morning! Precious is coming along nicely and happy new year to you too bud. I noticed the Tag light lit up when you applied the brakes the first time. That would indicate crossed wiring for sure. If it would help you, here's a tip when wiring for lights by yourself. If you don't own a test light... make one. Get an odd socket and bulb with the ground and hot wire attached and put alligator clips on the wires. Make sure the bulb is good, it will be your test light and will keep you where the work is. Use the test light at the wire junction to the vehicle to figure out flasher, brake lights and turn signals. When you repeatedly have to come out from under the job for testing/looking at lights, it will drive you away from the job and generally confuse you even more. OR... you could farm the job out to Max 🤷let him try his luck.😆
I had a light coming on when it shouldn’t be, it turned out that it was coming on because the system was finding its ground through the light. When I found a wire later that had a eyelet I clamped that to ground and the whole harness began working correctly.
A great dude video. Can't call you Mr. T, that's taken so TB, don't know if this is your situation but I read somewhere that older vehicles had a one resistor in the wiring to stop power from back feeding when the blankers and brake pedals were used at the same time. I enjoyed watching and happy new year. Fella's
@@arthursmith5409 yes I'm pretty sure that is my issue. I found a junction box for a trailer that does the same thing. Should be in the mail by the time I post the next video so tune in maybe we'll have it figured out
Your brake/turn light are working off of your park/tail lights. The turn signal and brake lights are the brighter filament. Add grounds where you can, it makes a huge difference
She looks great, I can't wait to see the finished project. Copper tubing for brake lines lacks PSI strength. Steel isn't really that hard to bend to fit.
Cool truck
@@JeronWhite Thanks, she will be a daily someday. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
Progress was made, it's getting there. Enjoyed the video and happy new year to you too.
@@ding7856 Thanks for tuning in

@@junkyardsearcher6407 Always a good idea to check grounds. Pretty sure we figured out the issue I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
