    Good fabricator in NC?

    Not sure where to post this but I'm looking for someone who can fabricate for me. Stuff like tube frames or custom suspension setups. Life is not at a point where I have much time to tackle projects of that caliber.

    5v sources on 1988 ranger?

    I know that there is a resistor in the gauges that converts 12v to 5v, but is there any other places on the truck that gets 5v? Im having roughly 5v bleed into my turn signal wiring lighting up the rear LEDs dimly.

    New problem(to me) LEDs

    1988 with 2.9, installed LEDs in all exterior lights and replaced hazard and flasher relays with externally grounded LED compatible ones.

    Brake lights come on with ignition

    Hopefully I'm just overlooking something simple but with key off and lights on, the park and brake lights operate normally. As soon as the key is switched on with the park lights on they brighten up like I'm pressing the brakes. Using the hazards or turn signals with cause them to go back to the...

    As the title suggests I will be updating/modernizing most or all wiring on my truck.
