Just to reintroduce myself, I'm Dan, and my old bobbed and rehabbed REO/Stude M35 is named Chesty. I had it built at Boyce Equipment, and while they did an outstanding job, I've had troubles with the turn signals and flashers since I got it back. I just don't drive it most of the time so it's not a huge issue
hazards on, RR does not flash
RR signal does not really work at all that I can tell
I also think that when I signal right, the left turn signal blinks (rears only)
When I'm driving, and stop at a light or something and am signalling, the big green bulb stops blinking when I'm on the brakes. (I can't remember if it L/R or both)
pretty much all the trouble seems to be rear lights only, the fronts seem to work fine (except for when I stop/signal/on the brakes)
There could be a couple other weird things happening, can't remember though. one day I'll go function test and double check my symptoms.
I think it could be a ground issue, or 1 or more wires maybe hooked up wrong?
the wiring itself is quality , looks to be an OEM/NOS harness and I assume (hope) the wires are numbered somehow
but my truck was a Gasser, and now it's got a LDT 465 with transmission and transfer case all out of the same M35A2
so a lot of things were hinkey when I first bought the truck, and pretty much everything was replaced. for sure, the entire electrical system. Went from a napa push/pull headlight switch, to a 3 lever and from an old chrome Grove turn signal switch to your standard M35A2 switch with the big green bulb.
Boyce did just a ton of great work, and I'm proud to own this old machine
any thoughts would be much appreciated
