Sooo, haven't posted in a couple of days cuz... My Blinker fluid ran out.
It just stopped blinking. So I bought new bulbs. But the bulbs were welded(by rust) to the housings so i managed to make better tailight assemblies with some jb weld and wire crimping. K everything should work. but now the battery is dead??? Try to start it and had to jump start it. keeps dying. unplug the battery while the LUv is runnig and it dies soo alternator is crazy. Wire came loose. The one with the rubber boot so recrimped it and now the car is charging again. And it starts, But the blinker and the horn doesn't work. Sooo unpluged the little cans and plugged in a seperate blinker switch and didn't work. LUV is running and I'm stumped. Go over the the fuse box and start moving the Blinker and Horn Fuse around. It's not blown but it seems to not be making good contact. And THEN It happened. a little spark and the LUV stopped running?? :x But the Horn and blinkers work now. I try to start the engine and it turns but does not spark. The little annoying buzzer that sounds when you turn the ignition on doesn't sound. Umm, am i out of ignition juice. Voltage regulator, he little pots on the side of the distributor, did I blow My head GASKET!!!?? Many :?: :?: :smt100

What did i screw up so that that little annoying buzzer doesn't sound. It's plugged into the engine speed calculator thingy. BTW its a 1979 blue Beast with CA emissions

Best bet is to label all of your wires at the fuse box. Pull the fuse box and sand the terminals, tighten them as well. Get all new fuses and try again. This has helped a ton of people, it is cheap and should take less then a hour. In my opinion is a great place to start and should be done anyway, so you would not be wasting your time. Also make sure your grounds are tight at all connections of the ground battery cable.

I shoulda just Used the Hand-out-da-window turn signal system and left the worms in the can lol. At least I know that the Horn and signals work, any clue on the source of the buzzy noise. and what could make it stop buzzing?? I think that this is the source of all the evils, it is the gatekeepr to LUV bliss.. Hey luvr any word on that rear window, I have a good rear seal, With the intact chrome strip and everything!!! but hell, the LUV don't gotta be running for it to be Sweet..oy i'll keep telling myself that.. lol

If it is the rear glass you need I have it. I even have a windshield as well.

I would really try cleaning the fuse box and check your major grounds. Eliminate the stupid stuff first.

Check the wiring diagrams provided. I would check for the the circuit breaker that is under the dash. Do the head lights still work?

A big Duh! will resound the community. While dissambling the fuse box I found that a couple of the fuses were ever so slightly DEAD!. I don't know which i pulled them off, but i bet it was from the voltage regulator. Breaker under the dash, I looked for something between the ignition switch and coil like along the lines of an inline fuse but found nothing. Sooo please do enlighten the lost. Another mystery solved and I found that I have a huge Spider 8O living in my lower driver side control arm, It was huge!!! i think it is pissed that i am moving his house around :smt120 Truck Not so Wild Anymore
