HI

had 4 days camping north of Santa Barbara  in the 87 over xmas  all was good  only the first night it rained before 11pm so the first night had to cook the paea  in inside   missed the smoky flavor when cooked over the fire

hoping to get a free manual from James  did get a new cover for the fuse box  so could know what fuse goes where  etc

1.  now all the new led running , turn lights work good   the drivers side left front turn indicator light is a bit dim  needed to replace the socket also on that one  will go back and check all the connections  got the led kit including a new relay  for led's

but the emergency flashers do not work at all ........ the relay box clicks like it does when the turn signal indicator is on but no power to the bulbs  .... any thoughts on what this could be ?????

2.   the  reversing lights do not work  and since do not have the manual  not sure where the switch for the reversing lights actual is  .....  think it is on the transmission   it is a stick shift ??????

3. have already replaced the old head lamp bulbs with the new relay now years ago now one side is dimmer than the other so need to check out connections what else could it be

I'll be back with more questions / advice as I get the 87 back in to tip top shape  and improve the storage situation  and the 2nd battery placement / solar panel  recharging connectors  , have a plan for that  will pass it on as I get it together ,  plan to make new tube bumper with some storage inside the tubes

so any advise  comments   ???????????????????
