87 Comanche Bucket-O-Bolts - son's first car

1. Courtesy Lights:  My next struggle is the courtesy lights. I'm not seeing any voltage to the courtesy light plug. I'm struggling to find a wiring diagram for the lights. If someone has one, it'd be very helpful. 

 

2. Heat Controls - We got the new HVAC control unit wired in and I can now adjust the fan speed and temp, but I can't change the vents (I'm assuming it's vacuum). 

 

3. Stereo - I had planned to throw a Chinese apple play unit, but I'm going to put the old Kenwood in. The harness is hacked all to hell so I need to unfornicate that mess. 

 

4. Seat Belts - I sent the seat belts out to Safety Restore. They should be back this week. I'm hoping the new webbing and restored springs make them like-new again. 

 

5.  Seat Cover -  I ordered a new cover and foam from Raybuck. I'm hoping that it'll be here in a few weeks. 

 

6. Cup Holders / Center Console - I can't figure out a center console solution right now. In the future, I may find someone who can 3D print something awesome. For now, I'm trying to figure out a cupholder solution. I'm thinking two pistons on connecting rods bolted to a plate, that's bolted to the floor. Also open to ideas.

I got the seatbelts back and they look great. 
 

The courtesy lights are wired in. There wasn’t any voltage because there wasn’t a fuse! The door jam switches are testing bad so I ordered two new ones. I’m not convinced that they’re the issue. The lights come on with the headlight switch but that’s all. I likely have bad switches and a bad ground. 
 

Installed a new headlight switch (that sucked!) and the dash lights now work very well. 
 

Some other minor odds and ends done tonight. Every night I start with a goal and have so many smaller things to tend to and never achieve my goal, but I can see the end.

The courtesy lights now work as they should. 6.5” speakers in the rear using heavily modified boxy Jeep adapters. 
 

The Raybuck seat cover and foam has arrived and I’ll get that together soon. 
 

Progress is slow, but it’s progress!
