  1. I found a locksmith who fixed my locks. Turns out the ignition key was just too old to work in the door. Changed the master door switch at the drivers position and at least 3 of the 4 windows go up and down, better than before. Now I need to replace the ridiculous speakers the PO put in the doors before I put it all back together.
  2. What I've been working on this afternoon. Ashtray goes bye bye.
  3. But but....whatever happened to "any reason to buy a new tool"?
  4. thanks for the tips. you used the locks on your sister's truck? was there a number on the lock? I understand you need to give the dealer the code on the cylinder for them to give you matching keys. I am still thinking the key I use for the ignition is old and worn and hopefully that's the only reason it doesn't turn in the door,
  5. thanks. I live in the woods and being able to see while backing up is kinda important.
  6. It's manual. closest switch to the front of what?
  7. I changed the driver side bulb by removing the air filter. Thanks for the aiming info.
  8. Also, I have no backup lights when in reverse, but I did see both sides come on briefly when my girl was starting up the rig, so it's not the bulbs. Is the switch that engages the backup lights in the shifter, or down in the transmission?
  9. YES! New headlight switch from eBay solved the no high beams on one side issue. You guys are the best! Wish I could buy you all a beer or 3.
  10. ah, excellent. So it seems to be designed to pivot out to the front of the car? makes more sense than the gymnastics of doing it the other way. I wish they still made sealed beams. 10 years between replacements.
  11. thanks. I've got to get knowledgeable about the electrics. I hear there are separate hot leads for low and high beam. Separate grounds as well? unless the hot lead itself is toast.
  12. Now that the motor has had everything changed ( all in the sig), it's on to the myriad electric issues. If there are good threads for any of these issues, that's all I'm really asking for. Thanks. No horn 1 headlight, no High beam ( changed bulb, same symptoms) This may be the headlight switch? Ordered one off ebay. mine has a screw in the side of it from the PO). everything needs changing on this $800 rig. But I'm already in love, so time to man up. No backup lights ( took out one bulb, looked fine) by the way who is the sadist that designed the rear light assemblies? And the head lights , for that matter. Do you reach in from above, or remove the air cleaner on one side and the battery on the other? Links, people, I need links. Doors do not lock or unlock with key. Afraid to try the electric lock from the drivers door. I might get stuck in there permanently. Windows do not roll up on either rear door. It's January people, and one window is open. I have cardboard and plastic over the opening. Whats the recommended way to remove the door panels? I fixed the no clock/ no courtesy lights/no cabin lights issue. The rear cargo area light was smashed and shorted, as I hoped. Pull that out, change a fuse and voila, inside lights. That's just the electrics that I need help with. There's more.....
  13. Hello people. Bringing it home tomorrow, eager to change all the fluids. What do you use for the rear diff/ transfer case / transmission? Is it listed here on the forum? Until I get an owners manual and FSM I'll be relying on you folks. I have a picture on Google drive but haven't ascertained how to display it yet. The Image link in the editor doesnt like my link to the image on Google drive. Crab
