snoshoe Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Assuming two brown wires on one terminal in the connector between front and rear harness leaves a pretty small area to check. Either it's not coming through flasher or that plug. Back probe connectors and see where you lose voltage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Check ground. I often have to run a ground wire from the fender to the rear end to insure proper grounding. That often solves lighting issues for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-C-IL Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Those look like ordinary incandescent bulb lights. The amber covers just snap off. I'd go back to the beginning. Use a battery & jumper cables to test "just the light" - does it light up? If not, change the bulb/fix the bulb socket. If so, step down the wiring - test at the next plug toward the flasher - until the light does not light. Find problem between. If you get all the way back to the flasher - just jump the flasher plug terminals to see if the light comes on. If so, its a flasher issue. If not - test if you have 12V getting to the flasher with the switch on the first click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf03499 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Well flashers work must not be good ground. My fender lights come on with the rear white but won't come on with the red light. O I have the switch backwords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf03499 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 So I should be set up the right way with my grill lights, flashers and red light on low and high and then all the white ones for the field position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf03499 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Can I ziptie wiring harness to lines under steering column above platform or do those get too hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 They don’t get to hot, but the vibrate ever so slightly. I wouldn’t myself. The original wire clamp tab things aren’t still there? I just removed all of them in that area from a 1206. They’ll be going back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf03499 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Ya I still have the clamps there I was just worried about it getting next to the shaft for shifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf03499 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Well I got all my lights to work finally I just don't know the best way to tie wires up by the fenders and some of the clamps holding harness are small so was wondering if you can get replacements and if I take bolts off by rear-end will it leak when I put new clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 None of the bolts that hold wire clamps are below oil level. They won’t leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf03499 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Ok I wasn't sure if there was a gasket there or not and didn't want to ruin it if there was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf03499 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 What should I do about the wires for fender lights they are long and hang down by the tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 There are gaskets, but the bolts won’t disrupt them when coming out and the castings are all ridged enough that removing a bolt here and there won’t cause a problem, as long as you put it back in. Where you get rid of extra wire slack is going to be your call. They must provide you with a little extra wire length, that you could need if the tires and fenders were mounted out wide.

sf03499 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Ok I might just add some wire clamps. I know it won't look original but I'd rater have it look wrong then ripped off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf03499 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 I do like the led lights. The grill lights are plenty bright themselves for what I'll probably use it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf03499 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Well go it all back together. The only thing I can tell might be a problem is when I start it the lights flicker but as soon as it starts they are perfectly fine. I had everything tight when put together and haven't seen anything spark. Could this just be from the batteries being run down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Looks good. The flicker is probably normal, I don’t ever start anything with the lights on. (You wouldn’t do that with your pick up truck right) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Starter is a major draw. Would be normal for lights to dim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf03499 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I mean everything acts fine otherwise. It is set up with 6 volt in series instead of 12 if that makes any difference. Idk how old batteries are but I'm guessing there getting kinda dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Turn lights off when starting. You are limiting voltage to pull in winding in starter solenoid. Will cause trouble if you make a practice of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
