Good point, but just tested.....all back to working.....millah time!

No..problem could not get the wires down the column with the metal pins on them anyway....cheated and cut them off, soldered them to the existing and pulled them through one by one. Just going to solder them to the existing plug and call it done.

Can't seem to get the pin puller in. Does that red plastic part of the socket need to be removed? The sockets flair at the end so the plastic tube where the female pin slides in is the same size as the tube on the puller.

Ok....so snatching the pebble from your hand.....how do I not disassemble the shift collar when feeding the wires??

Also have to ask..... what's gone so wrong with your column that has made you an expert?

So as long as I do not loom them someway, using an old wire to snake them out the shaft is ok. Stop sign shaped...hmm....I have a tube shaped one that just fits over the new pin but will look for one with a shaped tube...thanks!

Anyone ever pulled the pins from that column socket? I have a pin pull kit but not sure the procedure. Also.....was going to cut one of the wires from the hazard switch and use it as a snake to pull the new harness wires through to the outlet.....any problem with this approach?

Brake lights are working so are hazards and horn atm. No directionals.

No changes other than the wheel itself, but that was years ago and everything worked. The directionals started to be a little flakey a couple years ago but horn and hazards were fine. Now its like the ground connection is only available to one or the other and they get it randomly. Lost turn...

Replaced the horn relay and traced all the wires back to the steering column. So...i can honk the horn with a ground tap into the relay to ground. I had narrowed it down to the column button, but then my directional went out and the horn worked.

1974 Bronco Ranger....pretty sure I have the correct harness.

So I'll preface this with the fact that I have already bought the steering column harness and pin puller, however I'm concerned that there might be another cause. So the issue is that my horn and directional signals alternate working. When the directionals work...no horn, when the horn is...

No reaction to grounding the horn button and also no 12v at the horn itself. Going to test which wire goes to the button on the horn with my multimeter then run a 12v line directly from the fuse panel to see if I can get operational. Then rewire from the harness if it works.

So my shop re-wired a couple things under my dash when it was in for a crate swap and since my horn does not work. I took the steering wheel off and to me it looks like the horn button is providing ground. So my assumption then is that one of the pins on the horns themselves should be an...

So...... checked the timing and advanced to 14. Then when no improvement I thought maybe a bad wire somewhere so started with the coil. When changing the coil wire I leaned in the distributor cap and it slid back toward my air cleaner easily. Looked inside and it looks like the cap has been...

New springs and re-adjusted the mix and idle....took it out for a spin and it still does it.....I'm beginning to think it is a misfiring cylinder. It does not rough idle but it seems to skip a fire every once in a while so the motor visibly randomly shimmies. I wonder if at a higher rpm this...

Thanks for all the suggestions...but I think I figured it out.....did a little carb tuning and dropped my timing back down to around 5 degrees and that made the issue much more pronounced on flat road with steady petal pressure. It feels like drag, but it is actually very subtle fluctuation in...

Ah! I only checked the drum through the gap in the rim.....ok.....next drive hub temp up front as I replaced the rears last year. Thanks!

So driver rear needed adjustment as it was not dragging at all, but heat test showed fronts 140-150 and rear 115-135 degrees after a 40 minute city drive. So not convinced its brakes, but now not sure what it could be. Everything else in drivetrain is new or rebuilt. Itis very subtle.....gonna...

Ok.....was going to jack it up tomorrow and see if I can feel or hear resistance when manually turning the tires. The tranny is auto, bit fluid level is fine and it is a Monster AOD with under 10k on it.
