Ran the car out of gas before I got the balls to drive to the little station around the corner from my house. Picked up some terminals I needed to hook up the speedometer while I was out and got to work. I kind of look forward to my wiring nights. Electricity seems simple compared to the rest of the build, I'm glad I took the plunge. There's just not much that can go wrong, you just follow the diagrams and make a few crimps.
Fixed the brake lights and they seem to be working fine. Somehow my turn-signals are backwards but I can just flip the switch around if the fronts are as well. They need new bulbs but the rear turn signals and brake light switch all work well. They're wired right because I can read the labels still and I checked the switch like five times before putting it in, not sure what happened there. Worse case scenario I just have to flip the connections on the switch itself, no big deal. Wired up my GPS sending unit for my speedometer and it seems to be getting power. I'll need daylight to test it out because I still haven't gotten around to ordering my dimmer switch needed to hookup the headlights. I suppose that'll be the next battle.
