We've had a falling out.
First off was working on the clutch pushing out the last of the air when I pumped the piston right out of the slave cylinder. Note to self: disconnect the slave cylinder for bleeding vertically then reattach to pump clutch. anyway, no fluid now - back to square one.
Today I bought a bunch of new light bulbs and decided to spend some quality electrical time. Got the license plate bulbs working and reassembled - hurray! Tailights were working till I realized they were wired wrong - now they don't work.
Took some time on the brake switch - switch works - check. power to green wire - check. does the brake light work - nope. However, if I wire it backwards and ground it it works - of course the front signal lights go on too.
then was noticing that while the high beams work perfectly, they also work when you turn on the right hand signal.
so, back to original configuration, and time to take a break before I burn it
I think it is a grounding issue. any clues for checking ground? All I can think is a patch cable. any ideas? I wonder if the new paint is preventing a good connection. And, while I'm at it - I have not got the fenders on till the hydraulics work. How can I ground the headlight/ signal lights while I'm testing?
