| I basically fixed everything that was bad. It had a disconnected rear light ground. Rust. The accelerator connections were rusted. Battery boxes needed painting. Redid the battery connectors. Fixed the window washer which was not hooked up from the factory but the switch was there and some of the wiring. So I completed the circuit. Replaced the sealed beams with halogen at 45 watts. Now both beams draw a little over 1 Amp. If I reduced it to 35 watts it would be 1 Amp. Vehicle sold to buyer from Utah. | |
