Confusing electrical gremlins!
 
Hey guys, long time no see...the job has me working 90 hrs a week so ol blue doesnt get much attention, but she will the next couple days since I'm finally off for a bit.

The problem: I was driving a couple weeks ago and my pyrometer/boost/water temp gauge power started flickering and did it for about half a day, then they all just went out. Next day, my blinkers quit working, and took my hazzards/stop lights with them. I have chased fuses and wires all over and am thoroughly stumped. Ive got a factory service manual and have been trying to figure out which wires to focus on. Just wondering, is there something easy Im missing?

Im real close to ordering a Painless universal harness and doing away with every strand of chrysler copper on this ol truck...

I'd be looking at my ground connections if you don't have a blown fuse

check the fuseable link and all your grounds

Check the ground from the battery to the radiator support.

Found it was 2 bad flashers, one went out, the other got crushed under my clutch pedal.

The gauge problem was the product of a bad fuse holder, just a coincidence that both problems happened at the same time.

Thanks for yalls suggestions.

My ears perked up when I read this. Is there such a thing for our trucks?
