Been chasing one electrical gremlin after another since I completed this years section of the Resto-Mod on the ‘62 C-10. I would get the 4 way flashers fixed and move on to a finicky left front turn signal and in the process of fixing that the 4 way would quit. Then the horn quit while at the GabFest last month. Today I was determined to fix all the signal/flasher/horn problems once and for all. Cleaned grounds again and checked the circuit for the turn signal. Had flashing power to the socket but the bulb wouldn’t flash. Worked over the pins on the base of the bulb with a pair of pliers to raise them up a bit thus making better contact. It worked, I now have 4 ways and turn signals on every corner. On to the horn. Bypassed the relay and the aftermarket klaxon horn worked but the factory horn was DOA. None of the FLAPS had a relay so I had O’Reillys bring one over from one of the OKC stores. Installed the new relay, hooked up the klaxon and left the factory horn disconnected. Legal again. Fingers crossed that the repairs will hold this time.🛠
