there is hope in fixing things!!

Post by marinewithafiat »

Hi all,

It's been over a month now of dissecting various electrical issues. Today I finally fixed the front left parking lamp. Traced the bad connection all the way to the bulb. Turns out the housing was rusted to hell. A bit of hard brushing, some dielectric grease and she's burning bright. Still have a brake light out which I'm troubleshooting today. And then all electric is done. Next is getting the engine to purr once again.

Stick with it even when you lose hope. You'll be surprised how one light coming on will feel like you won a prize fight. Small victories, yall. Small victories.
