Working it lol. What’s confusing further is according to this, the melted wire pin is for the dimmer control switch

Good Morning
First and last are irrelevant if nobody else is in line.
Really need to get the hedge trimmers going here. Maybe today. Maybe not. LOL. I did get one of these recently. Haven't used it yet..

I have Worx cordless tools. I bought a pole trimmer for those big bushes I couldn't reach the middle of.
So some further detective work, there’s 3 wires with chaffed insulation on the back side of the plug. This plug goes to what Chrysler calls a multifunction switch. It handles brakes, turn signals, flashers, wipers, high/low beam, washer fluid, and hazards.
the way the plug mounts to the Column with the tilt column, these 3 wires move a bit as you run the tilt thru the range of motion., so over 23 years, they likely rubbed bare and probably arched against each other.
now, I think I can salvage this plug and possibly lengthen these three wires and add some heat shrink for additional protection.
I also took a part the switch and found it was full of green corrosion on the copper terminals. I cleaned it but I think I’m just gonna replace it.
harness checked out for continuity and I took the grounds loose, cleaned them and reinstalled.
once I get the plug fixed, I hopefully will have solved this problem

Are you baiting Karl to get on here? LOL
Morning Mopar heads and bush trimmers. Have to put the hay fork on the tractor today. Picked up some hay for the horses and need to get it in the hay shed. But that can wait till after breakfast. Need to get some work done on the hot rods, lots of shows the next month here.
Nice bush
Yeah but it’s worth it. It’s on my 99 Cummins. My grandfather custom ordered this from Dodge and it has all the paperwork still. 182,000 miles and 4spd and a 5 speed and mostly rust free body. Can’t complain too much for 4000 that I had to pay to get it last year

All this bush trimming, long poles, deflowering, and under boob is gonna give Karl a weeks worth of material when he gets back! Looks like I get to do more showings today for open house. Maybe I will show them my big deck. They can use it any way they want.
Sent him a text a minute ago. I will update accordingly.
Screw all that. Looks too much like work.
Which Shop ?????
Just got off the phone with Karl. Still in the hospital but he sounds good. Says he's having trouble getting enough breath to walk around good so he's probably got a few more days in.
Thanks for the update RRR!
Ummm, it's an action movie, not a documentary.
Besides, it’s the man, not the machine. I bet a p51D could down an F35…Ummm, it's an action movie, not a documentary.
Mowed, edged, trimmed and cleaned equipment to include a thorough cleaning of the underside of the mower deck. Now a refreshing Rum drink on the porch to take in the order carved out of chaos.
We are back. 600 plus cars. I went for a walk early, there and back is nearly a mile if we include the sidestreets they were parked on. I tried to capture all the mopars. There were lots!
