Thanks bigd... that sucks..its a helpless feeling when you can only use one hand..gives you a new respect for disabled folks..
Thanks bo...
I've been screwing around with wiring still...was just about to update all that,then this happened..
Way back then, blinkers were optional..even though the truck has the signal lever ,none of it was ever hooked up..the AA wire kit has all the blinker stuff built into it,but relys on the oem blinker circuit to drop out the brake light so itll blink..
I changed the front bulb socket out from a 1156 to a 1157..so that solved the fronts..it gives me a parking light and a blinker light
Its appears if the truck came with blinkers that it had a extra set of lights on the rear for blinkers..i didn't want to add extra lights..i wanted to keep a single light...so have been trying to come up with a solution..
I think what's gonna happen is I'll add a couple of normally closed relays for the brake lights to run thru..
Then the blinker wire going to the rear will fire the relay ,causing each light to blink..
I drew a layout of how I'll hook it up..I'll add a pic of it...if anyone sees a issue with it , let me know..

the temps and humidity dropped some last week and I planned to paint the doors..I got them in final prime the other night, then it got hot again..its supposed to cool off some next week so maybe I can get them painted..
