You know your day isn't going well when...
...your 92 Toyota Corolla Go Cart chews up its transmission 140 miles away from home!
Kelly Blue Book Value $1500, rebuilt tranny (If anyone in Mariana FL could do it) about $1700 plus taxes, etc...Bye Bye Go Cart.
But my real question is this. I now need to use my '69 Elky as my primary transportation (since I have no other alternates) which is OK, except for one problem.
My tail lights don't work.
Brake lights do, turn signals do, but the tail lights? No way. This was a total rebuild, 69 el camino, 350, R7004, new Painless (hardly) wiring, but the tail lights don't work.
I have replaced the dimmer and the switch, no joy. When I bench test the switch, I don't get any juice on the tail light tang...
One fellow that I spoke with suggested replacing the dimmer again, said that he remembered something about how those two work together (tail lights and dimmer?).
Any ideas about testing/fixing/making it work?
THANKS!!!...at least I'm enjoying the ride!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
