I'm not there yet but soon. I remember the last time I messed with the front turn signal connections it was a frustrating exercise with colorful language involved. I'm saving this part of the rabbit hole I am in for last.
Any tips to deal with the tight, dark, need three hands operation of connecting them? |

I am mostly concerned with the how do I get my hands and fingers in there to make those connections with the rubber boot and other obstructions in the way.
Jeff, I have used your resources consistently for many years. Thanks you for all of them. |

Remove the TS bucket, make the electrical connections, mount the boot, reinstall the bucket.

IIRC I followed Fred when I recently did mine. cut the wires, remove the assembly, thread the wires into new rubber, get them back on the car, solder/heat shrink tubing. It's not one of the more fun projects, but if I can do it anybody can.
recalling now, I might add a couple (2) inches to the individual wires to help with the install. I like soldered connections with heat shrink tubing |
