Re: '85 CJ7 Signal Problem
Yup, I am still kicking more or less. A little more than less anyway.
I was a passenger in a passenger side T-bone hit in a car last year and
recovery has been long, painful and slow.... :-(
The Haynes manual has a perfect wiring schematic for the 85 CJ and only
costs twenty bucks or so. It also is accurate for anything mechanical I
have tackled so far.
