81 Chevy C10
« on: December 27, 2018, 09:13:28 am »
Hey everyone! Glad to be apart of this forum. Been looking for a truck for a while now and this past weekend I found this beauty! I’ve never been much of a mechanic type but I’m excited to get my hands dirty on this one! Looking forward to learning from everyone here as I begin to fix this baby up!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Went ahead and changed the turn signal switch but my turn signals still didn’t work? Any ideas of what may be the issue? The hazards work great but no action on the turn signals with the truck on.

So there was what I think is a new one that was in the glove compartment and I tried it but I’m going to go ahead and get a new one anyway.
