Had it parked out side garage for about 3 nights. Garage was tied up, building a antique cast iron fence/gates look a like for a couple. It was raining most nights. Kids I expect.

Also had an old harness that I pillaged a wire from that was a direct match for the pin... so I put it in the MS harness and ran it to the window switch illumination (blue w/ red stripe). No worky.

I'm wondering if this brand new flippin' Dorman switch is actually NOT illuminated as it says it is. I took apart the old MS and it indeed had a bulb that was burned out.

So the schematic is correct on the trucks then right? It's the Expy's that have the circuit already set up, correct? That is what I was reading in the Expy wiring in my Haynes.

What bulb was in the original switch? LED or a mini bulb? Inquiring minds, you know. If you need a mini LED to replace the one inside, PM me and I'll send you one and resistor to match. Name your color.

AK... once again.... nothing went as planned today. My Buddy called and said his new motor in his Chevy was clanking really bad, and he was going to pull the valve covers and see what the ____ was causing it. Wife said I had to go get a new bed for her today.... so, I got the bed, and my Buddy worked on his truck. Never heard back from him on the cause, but we already tightened them rocker arms to spec again once in July. I suspect that may be his issue again. We are supposed to meet up over here tomorrow and go over some legal issues I am helping him with, and we'll head down then.

Anyway... got a Serta iComfort hybrid bed (memory foam/spring combo) with remotes and the adjustable foundation. Paid 1700 for it all, and it usually goes for 3500. Had to support a Utah company too, lol.

I know that feeling. Everything I did the other day was for nothing. It bit me in the azz all day long. At least you got a hell of a deal on a new bed system. And kept the money in Utah. I concur about keeping the money local, when it is feasible. Sometimes, you just have to go where the deal is though.

Hope JBrew got his tank hose fixed. It's hell to go out and find you have no gas. Especially on a long trip after you just filled the tank. That sucks for him.

Where is the Bear this weekend? Did he go to a college football game or something. I'm sure he's doing fine, but have to ask. Yogi? You okay?

My hose is fine, they siphoned all that fuel out, yea about 15 gallons meaning they most likley got ballsy and came for seconds and thirds. I hope they put it to good use. Side note, it fills up quicker w/hole in the sock. I put a larger LED floodlight on the garage today, - so they can see better next time.

Yep.... and I've been waiting for 4 hours for my sister to call me to come pick up a dresser from her. My Brother gave one match to her, and the other to me. She's moving... and doesn't want hers anymore.... so, you know? LOL

On a side note, the new house she's moving in to has new white colored appliances, and her boyfriend wants stainless.... so I am inheriting a new dishwasher and stove. Can't beat that with a stick.
