well signal lights mostly- I have started trying to sort out the light problems on this old 61 GMC 1000 pickup. it has long ago lost it's original turn signal parts in the steering column and has a signal stat 900 unit clamped to the column. and at one time it no doubt worked. at this time all I have working on the back end is one stop light on the left. I don't know if they have an internal flasher built in or utilize the one mounted on the fuse panel. anyway I did find some nasty looking splices under the seat where the harness goes through the floorboard toward the back and maybe my worst problems are there. it's a place to start checking tomorrow. I mainly wondered if anybody has information on the proper hookup of that signal stat. Raymond- Texas panhandle

Hi Raymond,

Cletis put together a tech tip that will help you out. Find it here.

thanks! that is amazing that you jumped in and helped so quick. I'm anxious to get out there tomorrow and see if I can make that think work now! I do appreciate it! Raymond

well that tip did the trick! as I expected the old flasher unit never was wired up right and after all the years it must have been on there plus all the torn up wiring there was a mess. but I followed those directions and re-connected what I could and replaced and ran new wiring for the rest and I now have working turn signals and stop lights. I haven't got everything finished up but by test light and what I have hooked up it looks like I have a working system. thanks again! Raymond Skellytown Texas

Glad I could help.
