Ok. Making progress!
Near each headlight there is a ground wire with a bolt. Passenger side is fun because the battery is in the way. Please remove the bolts and clean the bolt, wire connectors and the bolt hole in the radiator support with a wire brush on a drill. These grounds are imperative...
Ok. Pictures are revealing.
1. All bulbs must be present in the sockets.
2. If you are able to, put known good bulbs in the front turn signal sockets.
3. The way the system works the cluster bulbs come on solid if a bulb is missing or has a bad element.
4. Need bulbs in all sockets.
Ok. For my edification, key on, engine running, service light switch in the up position, headlight switch pushed in. Turn signals and brake lights should be functional.
headlight switch pulled out to first position, all marker lights, turn signals and brakes lights should be functional...
I am glad I took the truck to professionals for the rear diff. I eyeballed the backlash and set it to 0.001, spec is 0.006 - 0.007. Now I feel much better about driving it.
Next step is the generator controller, new longer drive shaft, and then all things steering.
Current pic from the front...
The cluster may be the issue. The lights on the cluster are the troubleshooting indicator of the system. When the left (right) turn indicator on the cluster stays on solid there is a bulb out on the left (right) side.
1. Do the side marker lights work? They are an integral part of the turn signal system.
2. Do the turn signal lights on the instrument panel turn on in either direction?
Hey. That wire goes to the brake prportional valve on the crossmember below the fan shroud. Connector is at the edge of the frame where the transmission lines cross.
