Turn signals quit working, Switch test good, relay is good, I think i found my issue. 



Both set of plus where pretty gross. 

Also got the fan to work. The old controller is pretty nasty to.

The rear lights can be a pain on these cars.

I've made a habit of looking at the grilles of the cars behind me to make sure all the brake lights are working.

RWD + tires you don't care about = so much fun.

Love it!  A nice one showed up at Cars N Coffee a while back and I was amazed it didn't get more attention.

Been fighting me pretty good since the weather got cold. I think the rear tail light matrix are going bad.

I gutted the entire taillight board, drilled holes in the housings, and put screw-in LEDs in them with the wires crimped directly to the wires that used to go into the plug.  Works WAY better than those garbage circuit boards and connectors.

If you use them make sure to mount them in an angled part of the housing, you want the light to bounce around in there not just go straight out.

Test before install- they're cheap for a reason!  Also mine are on a car that only really needs to function for a few days at a time before I destroy everything and rebuild it again...
