Okay, its time to start my winter projects, and start the thread to keep me motivated and honest.

Hey, You unplugged the coil and ignition. 2 months from now you are going to forget. This note is to speed up the trouble shooting process!

  • right low beam not functional - discover why(complete)

  • Put heat shrink on all plugs at fuse boxthey do not touch at all...
  • hook up oil temp wire(complete)
  • Dash gauges occasionally blink off and then back on when driving - find and fix the short(complete - sort of...)
