The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Runner lights

I decided to start working on the wiring and run in to a couple of questions. C10 1966 All thought the cab is
a 1965 if that matters.

When I turn on the runner lights they all come on in the front and back. But when I pull the light switch all the way out and turn the head lights the front runner lights go out. If I follow the wires that is how it should work. Is that how it worked back in the day.

Number 2. How do the brake lights play into the scheme of things. Don't they have to go through the steering column to work with the signal lights. Not sure where to plug them in.

Thanks

1 - yes, that's how it worked back in the day, if you want 'running lights' there's an electrical tech tip that should help

2 - yes, the brake light filaments are also the turn indicators, going thru the turn switch they are activated [or interrupted if the brakes are on] when you signal, but the brake circuit still goes from a power source [light switch probably] to the brake light switch, then to the tail via the turn switch

Yeah thanks for the tip that will be easy I was thinking just leave it alone but if it became mandatory in 1968 I am not sure if it will pass inspection does any one know about that.
