Its a old jeep. Concider yourself lucky if any of it works. It probably has only a couple of fuses . I dont know the cut off date but it may have come with only one tail light and no blinkers. They were very utilitarian. They only came with the basics. Even the heater was a dealer install it it has one. Think of it as one of your early tractors with a cab added .😊

you never checked the front steering knuckles it takes 90 wt gear oil I found that if they leak which is vercommon in mine I put chassis grease on top of the gear oil and let it mix . I have done that for yers in my jeeps and my ford f250 with the dana 44 with the older closed knuckle front axle . they changed that in around 1977 to open steering knuckle.

@@AntiqueCarsandStuff corn head grease is about the perfect consistency for those. Probably want to replace the wiper seals too, if you get that deep into it.

You should check the 4 way flashers. Pull out in the silver piece behind the lever, I’m curious if they all flash. You also may have 12 volt bulbs in the rear sockets hence the brighter lights after you changed them. Grounds are huge on 6 volts systems but I know you are no stranger to 6 volt stuff.

Good thoughts. Thank you! I didn’t think about checking to see if the bulbs were 12 volt.
@wrenchingwithrob60018 ай бұрын
@@AntiqueCarsandStuff I think the numbers on the bulbs are 1157 or 2057 for 12 volt dual element bulbs. 1156 for single 12 volt bulbs. I can't remember what the 6 volt numbers are.

If you eliminated 2 of the turn signal bulbs on the rear, the blinkers would work better. The 2 extra lights on the back draw too much power for the relay. It's like when you pull a trailer, you need a heavy duty relay for the extra lights. Being 6 volts doesn't help either.
