Hey folks I've been lurking awhile never posted till now. I bought an 85 c10 and I'm having a few electrical issues. I'll start off saying I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I'm eager to learn and not afraid of fixing some wiring. I swear the man that owned it before me was related to Edward Scissor hands I haven't found a wire that hasn't been cut, but I got it for a deal and its my dream vehicle.
Issue #1 was Intermittent, but now happens 100% of the time. I was blowing turn signal fuses every now and again and couldn't figure it out till it came back with a vengeance. Narrowed it down to going into reverse.
Issue #2 has been there since I got the truck gas gauge jumps erratically I mean really jumping not a gradual thing I've read about because of baffles. Only time it doesn't is when its full.
Issue #3 Every so often voltage will drop super low 8ish on gauge lights will dim and truck almost dies. Also have an intermittent miss I think is electrical related due to MSD ignition which was also butchered..
Anyone able to give me some pointers on what to troubleshoot/look for? Thanks everyone for your time.
