It's been a month and I just linked someone to this, so I guess I'll update.

Added a new bluetooth radio and mic setup.
Removed 2 more trailer harnesses :eek: from the rear section.
Starting to gather info on the ARA unit to test it out/rebuild for the summer.
Just spending little chunks of time hunting rattles/squeaks/etc. Nothing major, just little ones like getting the window channels tighter so the glass doesn't shake when dropped in the door.

WOW, I think I met you when you were "Expecting" and now he is working on the Bronco. I'm getting old!

The boy recently turned 5. My girl is just past 1.
And quite possibly. I was selling the green one and lived in Apopka/Orlando for a few years before the kids came along.

Still in the midst of the ac overhaul, but found some time to swap in some new (yes, I know, wrong color) arm rests and cups.
They were a steal and for a few years they’ll be just fine.

Finished the AC work!

Next on the list:
Slow leak in power steering box. Looks to be from the high pressure line seeping up past the threads.
Ordering a cage and 3 or belts.
Possibly going to LED headlights. Never been satisfied with the H4 upgrade.
Rear signals still don’t blink independently.

Otherwise, I’m just gonna drive.

My turn signals don’t work either, since my steering wheel upgrade. After blowing 3 fuses I invested in a $3 15A circuit breaker, which will remain until I figure out the problem ;D

The issue is that they do work, only under certain conditions.
I’ve removed two towing harnesses so far and tried to get everything back to stock, but problems persist.

The front work as intended, both independent direction (left/right alone) and flasher.
The rears though, have problems.
I have no reverse lights (which I need to check the column pin), but my rear brake lights and the flashers work. So the bulbs are fine.

The issue is that I have no left turn signal and the right signal causes both to flash (like the hazard).

So the electrical connections are there. The bulbs work. There’s just something in the turn signals that’s messed up.

I’d like to replace the back half with a stock harness or the aftermarket one, but it’s not worth $125 to me if I’m going to rip it out when I do a full rewrite.

Just read this and I have the same exact thing going on with the 67. Right turn is flashers, and it started when I upgraded to L.E.D Taillights. things got wonky so put them back to stock and still same exact issue. I did have the stereo guy use a wire under dash for power which was a turn signal that same week but corrected that. Completed a ididit column upgrade 2 years ago and am about to check all those connections next.
