Hey everyone, I’m brand new to the cucv world. I just purchased a 1986 m1008 two days ago and fortunately I ran across this page and it has been very helpful so far. But I think I have been over the forums where people are having similar problems to be about 5 times so far and I haven’t gotten my problems fixed yet. So any input will be greatly appreciated!
Now to the issues. When I bought this truck I was informed that the headlights didn’t work and no one could figure out why (seems to be pretty common after all of my research) so I found a thread on here about the BO switches and how they work. Unfortunately mine had already been removed. I do still have the connectors that the toggle switches would go to so I mad the two jumpers to get the service side working. Immediately I found that my horn, tail lights , parking lights, and blinker lights on the dash came on and stayed on. The headlight switch will turn the headlights on and off but nothing else.
I feel like this post is very long already so I’ll stop here. Please, if I haven’t given enough info, let me know and I will do my best to give more. Thanks!
