Thanks guys, this morning just for s and g I ran 12v thru the brown wire and yellow wires I mentioned I didn't use coming out of the steering column just to see if they would power up the brake lights, a hail Mary, but nothing...I'm going to study the charts you just posted dana67dart thankyou...

But I guess that's what I'm essentially doing right now, just at the wire near the light instead of the front?

I wonder what would happen if I took the 12v output from the brake light switch ( which currently goes direct to the rear lights) then spliced that into the two supply wires to the rear lights leaving the column to the rear signals? In theory that would interrupt the supply through the flasher...

That is actually how I figured out what wires to use for the signal outputs, I do not remember if I figured out the four unused 16 ga wires, that was all done about two and a half years ago, I'm not sure if I kept that chart I may have to create another?

Also, I should add I am NOT using the ignition in the column they ignition key is in the dash so that circuit is there, this and the cruise control are why many of the wires mentioned above are not used.

Ok, I've taken a look at the wires, here was what I have...purple, green,blue,black with yellow tracer, and black with blue tracer, these are the wires that I used, I believe I used the purple as power up the column and the other four went out to the four corner signals. There is also a black...

Murry, it did have that switch, threw it away years ago, not the look I was going for, this is a hot rod, hence the tilt column so I am using the internal wiring in the column, ( the best I can ) . Mopardude62, thanks for the diagram and idea , honestly after doing some reading I think I have...

Thankyou for the replies, Dana67dart and Murry, I agree the reason that there not functioning properly is because I didn't send the brakes through the signal circuit I just don't know how to do it? So Dana67dart if you find that diagram I'll be grateful. 273 I watched the video, it's...

Ok, this is on my 56 Dodge truck, FYI, there is no stock wiring I have completely re-wired it from scratch. EVERYTHING works, gauges, lights etc. Here is my issue, the round tail lights for the utiline box which have LED 1157 equivalent bulbs work when you step on the brakes and when you operate...

Yy1....for clarity proficiency is what we're trying to improve, typically in the marine industry a good tech will be around 80-85% its pretty hard to break that because of numerous marine related factors and no flat rate the junior techs will be around 70 to 75 so if we can tweak those up a...

It's funny reading all the post from the guys that have worked flat rate automotive shops, that was my world for 30 years before I moved to marine and it seems nothing has changed there. I'm actually taking my 2019 Ram in tomorrow to the dealer for a small warranty job, but honestly I don't know...

Well, I was also thinking profit sharing, pretty easy, the shop makes money, so do the techs, bonus plans can cause so much drama and its difficult to structure with " wip" just don't think I'm going to be able to convince my business partners so I may have to try something just to apeaze them...

We are trying to raise proficiency, like I said I have two business partners, I'm not convinced this is the way, just doing some research and homework.

Toolmanmike ...I did read the first post twice, all of them in fact, what I get so far is there just isn't a plan that is fair to all this is my concern, the objective here is simply to increase the shops bottom line without damaging a good reputation or pissing off techs, so far I'm not...

Jos51700, first, thankyou for your honesty with your insightful, informative, and humorous reply, I wasn't sure how much attention this thread would draw, I know it's probably not the right forum but with all the car guys on here I figured someone would have experience with this.so just a...

I'm looking to put a proficiency bonus plan in place in my shop and would like to here from those who have used one in the past. Did you pay annual based on monthly average or pay monthly, if monthly how did you deal with work in progress etc? My shop is not flat rate BTW.

Ok, that's funny! But I gotta say ( sorry to those who like the store ) but I absolutely HATE Walmart and ONLY go there under protest when my wife drags me along, ( she dosnt really like it either ) I always count the amount of people I see wearing pajamas with in the first few Iles of entering...

Finnegan, 1.5 year old mini ( well supposed to be about 13 lbs but he is 22, not fat, just a tank ) dacshund, his favorite spot on the couch with me in the evening!

Thanks Lee, I did do that but the seller said because there was already a bid, ebay site wouldn't allow him to change settings untill after that item was sold? I don't know if that's a thing I've never used ebay before I just registered for it when I seen the item, I messaged the seller and told...

" year and a half" its a long story, the short version is there is basically two body shops in my area that will even think of touching old iron, ( all most shops want is crash claims from late modle and insurance) one shop was two expensive for me and the one I used had his lease come up and...

Ditto on the blanket BINGO, I plan on taking her to a few swap meets and definitely don't want to scratch it.

Thankyou,, I purchased the wood ( cut to fit ) from hindsight bedwood out of Manitoba Canada, a great place to deal with and BTW, excellent customer service! Then I stained it three coats and two coats of varnish, you have to drill the side wood holes yourself. It was nice to find a place that...

Well, a Christmas miracle happend....my truck box for my 56 Dodge that has been at the body shop for over a year and a half finnaly got finished and came home so today I spent assembling the oak bed, it's like a big puzzle sort of, I got it all mocked up then took it all apart again to align...

Thanks guys yes yours are different plus I'm not looking to spend that much, as mentioned earlier I really just need one lens, thanks for reaching out and helping I appreciate the leads.

Thanks, I seen those but when I went to order it said out of stock.

Thanks I will, it was probably the one I bought but that was like 6 months ago

I am looking for a tail light lense like the one in the photo, a while ago I had the good fortune of purchasing a complete light from a member here that was in original condition and I restored it, now I need a match, I would be interested in a complete assembly to restore or just the lens as...

Ls an upgrade? In a Mopar? Puke....I'll push it first!

Well I think I'll just leave in the o-rings, and see how it goes, worst case I change em out! Confidence is high! Lol

Ok, I didn't actually see the seals or know what they were for until I was searching the net after, I had only noticed the o rings and used them, I did roll them down the tube but I used some soapy water so they wouldn't pinch, I suppose I could pre fill the bowls with fuel thru the vent tube...
