March 21, 2021. I was messing around with the BRB's dash. Installing an aftermarket gauge set. It started fine, then nada. Hmm, key switch must be bad since it is real loose --- not so fast --- I acquire a new key switch and it still doesn't start. I begin excavating the steering column. Hmm, cracked turn signal mechanism --- that is why the turn signal switch is sloppy. Distractions only. I dig deeper --- the linkage to the safety switch doesn't move? There is a pot metal widget that is supposed to push/pull the linkage that broke. Of course the wrecking yard is closed on Sunday's and it is supposed to rain and snow this evening. It looks like I'll be wet and cold tomorrow. Back to the excavation. The cruise control wires are burned and the lower column bearing is worn.
