1986 Spree restoration

Post by adios1344 »

(I have posted random junk around here the past few days, so I decided instead of spamming boards and reiterating myself in different topics, I will keep this and the Spree Chopper topics active. I'd delete the others if I knew how)

However, after messing with more wiring, and the multimeter I noticed there was no power going past my relay. It went to the relay, but no power to the switch :( So, I am going to guess that is bad. I decided against getting another harness after realizing how stupid I was. Also, it helps I know an electrician that had absolutely no trouble finding the problem. :D

Also, I noticed I have a turn signal as a tail light, hence why it didn't change brightness.

I will hopefully have these problems sorted out tomorrow.

I am calling this 'restoration' because I am essentially properly redoing my poor little beaten and abused Spree.

Keep the faith fellow "Hoosier," last Nov. I knew nothing about these critters, i have since restored 5 Spree's, 1 Aero, and am finishing up a "92 Elite " with Taz bbk (free plug cuz he sells good stuff) Read and learn, there is a wealth of info here. :peace:

Turns out it wasn't a relay but a flasher? Um now really lost. Can't find any 3 pin flasher (or relay for that matter) on the wiring diagram

your electrician or your dad, should just see where the wire connect to.

I guess it has only 3/4 of box full only.
