Says they used them for a couple of years and now none of them work anymore. One of them has the remote control. For the price I kinda figure it would be fun...

    Purple wires & diode to water in fuel solenoid

    Yesterday I had an issue starting my truck. I would turn the key.. All the lights come on but no starter. The lights would dim and volt meter would sag when in the start position.

    Gen 1 Light Issue

    So I have read all of the threads about the Gen lights I can find.. Several times. I have looked at the schematic up and down. I am just not sure where to go from here. So for some back story when I bought the truck most of the lights in the dash did not work. The Gen 2 light worked and that...
