Had to laugh

The front lights on the 1850 quit working a couple
days ago, got time today to look into it. The
person who owned it before did a good job of
rewiring it! (sarcasm there) The fuel gauge was
hooked to the lights, didn't work till turned the
lights on. The fuse holder is under the dash, so
had to take cover off and check fuse first, well
it was no fuse, it was a piece of a hair pin clip!
Found the problem to be a bad connection on
switch. I put a fuse in and it works. On a side
note the 1105 and 2705 are coming home from the
hospital this week, they said the 2705 is done and
just sending the injector pump off the 1105 to
Dubuque today and expect it back tomorrow, they
will test injectors at their shop. Have a good
night, I am going to go milk and haul poop
tonight. Tom
 
Years ago I had a body shop weld a small patch on one of the 1/4 panels over a rear wheel, few months later gas gauge goes up and down with turn signal. Took a little head scratching, wiring burned together.
 
"The fuel gauge was hooked to the lights, didn't work till turned the lights on."

Must have been "repaired" by the same guy that worked on a semi tractor later bought by a customer of mine... The heater in the air brake dryer wasn't getting power... found it connected to the back-up lights.
 
The factory connects the air dryer heater to the backup light switch. It is hooked up on the power in wire. Someone just connected to the wrong side of the switch. I've done that once or twice. It is easy to fix.
