Well...Another near miss with Mr. Bill yesterday. The relay switch is really getting to me. I got about 1/2 mile from my destination, stopped at a red light, and the engine died.
I hit the flasher button, popped the hood, jumped out, lifted the hood and fiddled with the wires, got back in, started it up, then got back out and shut the hood, had to start the truck again, and the light turned green...I did all that with one complete cycle of the traffic light! It felt like I was a kid again, doing a Chinese Fire Drill at the light!
So today, I will call the mechanic and get it over to him for an estimate. I hope it isn’t too expensive. It just needs more expertise than I have, and fewer arthritic fingers.
And I’m still on the hunt for a Hayne’s manual. I don’t want to pay the $20 Amazon wants for one. I’m searching for one through Bookman’s in AZ. Hopefully, they will have one, and it will be cheaper, even with S&H.
Congrats on your traffic-light-cycle-maneuver success!
good luck with the jalopy there
Percussive maintenance?
