    Nice looking job, updated and fully functional. Looks like you changed to an electronic flasher, how is that working for you? What brand and model flasher is it?

      I used a no load flasher by Keep it Clean. got it off Amazon for like 9 bucks free shipping. I use it for my LED's and 5 to 4 wire converter (trailer) box to turn my tail/turns on my trunk into tail/turn/brakes. It kicked my A$$ to get working right!

      If I had listened to the brow beating I took from others about fixing my indicator light in the gauge cluster for diodes and re-wiring I wouldn't have had such issues

      I think I'm gonna wire the remaining 2 fuse circuits to move my CB and stereo to the box so I can do away with the factory ACC fuse. another porject for another day

        One more thing...

        Put some spare fuses in those empty circuits so you have extras with you. Great place to keep them.

          I've got a tool kit in the trunk with extra's. Like i said in my previous post I plan on using those empty's to remove the external ACC fuse holder that my CB and Stereo are hook to right now. then they can have their own fused circuits.

          But that is a good idea for those without places to hold extra's

                You will notice in this photo that my wire bundle is now up against the edge of that mounting panel. It would take only a very short time for it to cut through the insulation. I have fixed this since the photo was taken. You need to be acutely aware of this when you start rearranging your wiring.
