Sorry Guys,
I've got a '53 gmc 1/2 ton on a '76 chevy frame. I have found part of my problem, and I think you've helped me with the other! One of my taillight wires had been cut off inside the wiring harness. I believe the other problem is that the taillight wire is in the wrong position as you pointed out. I'm going to try fixing it in a moment and post the results. I sure do appreciate the help. Thank goodness for the internet! I was able to type in a question about taking the light switch out and found out about that button on the switch that lets the switch rod/button slide out. Good grief! I would have never thought of such a thing.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, if I can quiz you further...
I've got a slow battery drain. I've pulled all the fuses and looked over every wire except two small ones on the distributor. Everything checks out o.k. as far as pulling fuses had no effect on the battery drain---it was still there.
I'm wondering if there's any possibility that there could be some kind of problem in the starter or starter solenoid that could be causing this. The alternator is totally disconnected and the drain is still there. I took the two power wires loose from the firewall block and the voltage went down, but I still had 4 volts from the neg. side of the battery to the ground clamp even after doing that. If anyone has an idea I would be very appreciative.
Thanks again,
Jason
