Mr.Skip Foose i texed u..holla back 🙂 (probe)

So after alot of youtube and google search...i came to a conclusion that it might be the brake light switch?? And my reverse light is not working either...that switch controls the reverse, nutural, brake light, and stop light...$14.99 autozone...im sure its that..the brake lights do turn on when the headlight switch are on but when pressing the brake its a no go...hopefully its just that switch..i will ck tomorrow...dont even know where the dayum switch is at..lmao..i"ll figure it out with online pics and autozone...

was up big saint, everything is looking real good and man exhaust sound nice! i need that same thing on the elco, the switch is connected to the knob that you pull and twist to control the light you just have to remove that cover only thing id i dont know how to remove that knob cause you have to reuse it

Man that thing sounds good. Glad to hear your popper actually does work. I knew it was prolly a grounding problem. Can't wait to hear mine when i can finally start it up

Thanks guys 🙂

So last night my battery went dead on me..i went to autozone and the homie thats works there gave me another battery for a used price..of course it was fully charged and i guess used..but painted and all that good stuff to make look new..KOOL...i get home put it in and all is good...

Today in morning Allen from malibu racing came down to pick up mally bumpers and i wanted to turn on for him and didnt want to start! :x i told him about my b rake lights and he cked my fuses and 4 were out!! :evil: i dont know whats going on, im thinking theres a short somewhere! But where! So took the battery and alternator to autozone and the Alt passed and the battery didnt pass!! ..so i need to wait till tuesday till the homie is back at work so we can work something out on the battery..i bought alot of fuses, changed them out and tested them..they all good..also grounded the real lights again, the old ground was all rusted and looked like it had all the battery acid on it...Also changed the brake light switch that was easy.....so with all that done hopefully that works..once i get this battery to give me power i can test everything..

Paint shop delay..but heads alway up 80zbabiez!! :wink:

Oh you will get it all figured out fam. You doin the right thing. Go thru all the grounds, switches, wiring ect before adding anything new like sounds ect...get all the basics running right and then build from there. I'd get all that lil stuff figured out before paint tho. But that's me....
