    Turned over by the key!

    Today I tested the starter and I'm happy to say the engine turned over with the key and my clutch pedal switch worked like it should.  Sadly the battery died before I could start the engine.  I did get the tail lights to come on and the rear turn signals work along with the four ways.  However I have no brake lights.   I'll trouble shoot that issue later.  I'm almost done wiring the contour fans as well. Getting closer to getting it running.

    Re: Turned over by the key!

    I discovered the connectors inside the plug that plugs into the light switch got pushed out.  It took a little effort but I got all the connectors to stay in place.  I now have 12v at the brake lights switch but still no brake lights.  I even jumped the switch with no luck.  I think it's the cheap aftermarket taillight buckets.
