not sure of anything now... last night I took the steering wheel off and messed around with the switch... (really not knowing what I am doing) got it to work... tried it 3 times and it all worked.... then put it all back together and nothing...
so really it could be a ground... but everything is pointing toward the switch... I have checked grounds a hundred time and ran jumpers and things still made no sense...
Is the steering wheel rubbing on the switch anywhere?
Oh it is not the switch.....
AP did not mark any wires when he removed things, so he has not plugged the correct lead from the front lamp housing to the signal wire in the harness.
Hook things up properly and they work great.

so I got power steering where I wanted it to be last night (minus I need a shorter belt) so I just "throw" the front light on there so I could take the truck for a ride, was driving along and hit the blinker...... magically it has power to it??????!!!! WTF???? get home look at it... all I did was swap the two wires and now it works perfect???? you tell me... I have put this together and taken it apart about 50 times, 2 times the night before and it had NOOOOOO power to it... something tells me there is still something up with the switch and that in a short time the @ucker will not work again anyway.... but good news is I did get it to work....
drove it 10-12 miles last night... drove wonderful, had it up to about 70 mph everything was great!!
my camera decided to not let me get any of the pics off it anymore... It works but it must have some setting messed up on it, as it will not connect to my PC or any of the 15 PCs I have tried.... so no pics until I either buy a new camera or figure out why mine is a POS....
MILLHOUSE will be here today, we are going to do a few things, drinks some beers and I hope It will be a nice weekend so I can get a tank of gas put through this thing......

Stop at Best Buy, puck up a card reader and pull the memory card out of the camera...

yea.... I can do that... it has one of those huge cards??? not like a smaller SD card... but I will probably do that... cheapest way out....
Forget photos I think we need video now that it's running. I got all my gaskets yesterday from the dealer, now i'm just waiting for the machine shop to polish the crank and get me another set of main bearings and i'll be back in business again. Hopefully 3rd time will be the charm for mine.

put 165 miles or so on the truck on saturday... things went very well... ran good... it is still starting hard, millhouse messed with the carb, now having difficult time getting it to run as good as it was earlier in the day... I need to retime it again and mess with the carb setting some more... no time until tuesday at least. leaving for redwing, MN to go riding with Poser, Millhouse, Degnol, and a bunch of other guys.... going to dolley my truck down there, got the take the front tires off and put the old junk that came on my truck when I bought it as they are smaller and will fit my straps. so I might not get much done on truck if I need to steve will help me get it running better on thursday...
