Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
It's a good thing that there is such a thing as bad luck or else I would have no luck at all.
You remember the movie Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Just when it appears that there's nothing but smooth sailing ahead...
Everything was finally coming together on the Roadrunner's wiring issues. I had managed to pull the cluster back out. I switched over the gauges and re-installed it in the car. I started it up and all the gauges seemed to be working. I buttoned everything back up. - Keep in mind I'd had to remove the cluster, the ashtray assembly, and drop the steering column. Even though it was night it was as though I could hear birds singing in the background.
I should have checked the dash lights. The dash dimmer switch was bad. I struggled for an hour trying to replace it with the cluster inside the dash before giving up and pulling things back apart. I cleaned up the rheostat on our original switch and put it in.
At this point I should have known better. I should have checked the wiper switch. Well, you can see where this is heading...:banghead:
We've had a warming trend here over the past few days but I wouldn't say it's warm. It's an improvement. Maybe I could concentrate better if I could feel my feet.
