I have been working hard to get my 58 Suburban ready to pass inspection so I can get it registered. With the help of a fellow bolter Joe, I've been working off the punch list.
Here are my two remaining issues:
1. Left front blinker. I installed an aftermarket blinker switch (sold at Jim Carter). I matched the truck's wiring diagram with the diagram supplied with the switch. When I turn on the left blinker, the left rear light blinks. Nothing from the front left light. When you turn on the 4-way flashers all the lights blink including the left front. The right blinkers front and back function properly. Obviously the bulb and wiring to the light are good. During the installation of the switch we were having some other issues and ended up taking it apart to validate the wiring set up. I'm thinking something got messed up during the disassembly/assembly of the switch.
2. Front parking/driving lights. When I pull the light switch to the first stop, the front and rear park lights come on. When I pull it all the way out the headlights come on and the rear park lights stay on. The front park lights go off. I thought it might be the switch so I bought a new one and installed it. The switch functions much more smoothly, but the light issue stays the same. My wiring diagram doesn't show the switch in any sort of detail. I'm wondering if there are two hookups on the switch for the front and back lights. I'm confused by the fact that the back ones work fine but the fronts go out.
Anyone have any ideas. These are the last two issues keeping me from getting the truck on the road.
