    Ok. I am now a believer! I had an idle moment figuring out generator wiring and tried the PEX fix. It is amazing how easy it is to close the door now! :D

    Will adjusting the striker change the position of the door? Right now when I close the door, granted it is a hard close, the door is aligned all the way around.

    I have never seen a cucv that the doors closed easy. My doors are lined up very well, I put new doors seals in as I rebuilt everything. Still have to close them hard. I will look at the youtube university to see what I can do.

    Re-reading your posts, I think you are hoing to have to do some continuity checks. It sounds like you do have some wires crossed somewhere. It helps me to draw a checklist of where each bulb socket pin terminates at the connector and check it off as I go, then test it against all other pins to...

    There is another ground that you might take a look at. Under the dash above the parking brake is the only ground in the cab. It looks like a six-legged spider with one one wire clamped under it. Clean those components really well also. After that you only 4 more grounds left on the truck. 1...

    Ok. Making progress! Near each headlight there is a ground wire with a bolt. Passenger side is fun because the battery is in the way.

    Ok. Pictures are revealing. 1. All bulbs must be present in the sockets. 2. If you are able to, put known good bulbs in the front turn signal sockets. 3. The way the system works the cluster bulbs come on solid if a bulb is missing or has a bad element. 4. Need bulbs in all sockets.

    Ok. For my edification, key on, engine running, service light switch in the up position, headlight switch pushed in. Turn signals and brake lights should be functional. headlight switch pulled out to first position, all marker lights, turn signals and brakes lights should be functional...

    I am glad I took the truck to professionals for the rear diff. I eyeballed the backlash and set it to 0.001, spec is 0.006 - 0.007. Now I feel much better about driving it. Next step is the generator controller, new longer drive shaft, and then all things steering. Current pic from the front...

    In the Army, for test purposes, we would sometimes “dry hang” a cable to verify a fault in a circuit. You might try just plugging it in for a test.
