As I always suggest others; it's the simplest of things that usually go wrong...
Put the truck in the backyard for my friend to help me do the rear brakes. in the meantime I'm doing some work on the dashboard I took the frame away from instruments removed the ABS light bulb to complete the elimination of the rabs (don't tell) of course because I'm losing my mind, my memory and everything else that goes along with being old, I took the wrong bulb out!
So, loosen the gauge pod,and of course the speedometer cable won't let it move very far but it managed to get the right bulb out and the right bulb in.
Feeling a little proud of myself I went to crank it over and it wouldn't start!!
( Here comes that omg feeling like a hole in the bottom of my stomach. )
I'm thinking all the worst things.. [emoji3][emoji848] finally I started backtracking,. There are two additional grounds on - battery terminal
(which is one of the things I want to correct to factory original someday.)
Anyhow because those two wires were not really tight with the battery terminal when I put it back on, it wouldn't start! finally tightened up the battery terminal and she started right up guess I'll sleep tonight!
I'm really getting too old for this kind of excitement [emoji1787]
