  1. New to the forum, while working on this truck everything I would google would normally refer me to this site so I figured I should join. Great knowledge. My Comanche was my first truck when I was 16 back in 2007, I had it for about a year before I got another truck, my dad sold it and I tracked the guy down he sold it to and found it sitting in a barn and he was using it as a parts truck. I paid $300 for it without wheels and tires. It did run and I was able to drive it around, lots of rust though and the body is in pretty bad shape. I have some great memories of this truck since it was my first and I'm glad I was able to get it back. I will post some pics soon after I figure out why the url tab keeps freezing. Here's are the parts I've fixed so far -water pump/ thermostat -transmission extension housing -rear brake lines/hoses -rear shoes -headlight -u-joint -oil/filter -air filter -blower -rear diff fluid changed and resealed Now what I still have to do -tail lights -wipers (need the 5.5 amp circuit breaker) will a regular fuse work? -header panel (current one is cracked and a bunch of plastic is missing) -radio installed (found an original at a junkyard) -4x4 isn't working (when I brought it home it was in 4 wheel high and was working but when I took it out it won't go back in) -dimmer switch when in a certain spot will heat up and begin to smoke -interior is trashed but I have some of the missing parts -body is extremely rusted so I'm thinking about cutting some of rust out -turn signals won't work, they come on when I hit the flashers but don't blink together there offset. If anyone see's a similar problem they have had that I'm having any suggestions would be appreciated. -
  2. I am on duty today but will check that out tomorrow when I get home. Hopefully that is the issue. Most of the reading I've done seems like if it's a fuse there will also be some problems with the dash lights so hopefully this is the problem. Thanks for the response.
  3. Hey guys/gals I have a 91 comanche that was my truck growing up that I recently bought back for $300. I've put a ton of new parts on it so far but the tail lights are throwing me for a loop. Before I get lashed I will say I'm not a mechanic. My issue is my tail lights are not working at all, I've checked all the fuses that I could find. Is there a ground wire that I could clean before I replace the lights. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
