???? S10
pickup or blazer????????
4engines used, and not told and fuse boxes not the same
no VIN tool or RPO build list told.
TILT wheel or not/?
buy the book service manual for both years, and figure it out.
what was wrong on the 1983 column?
you think cruise is going to work that old, not me, nor is it safe.
fixing the brake lamps should be easy
my guess is you did not wreck the stop switch
you messed up the old crazy HAZARD,switch wiring , very odd then
and any one would be confused seeing it.
the books shows 82/83 wired the same here.
cruise I have no docments those years. rare to work now, extreme rare.
if you step on the brake
and the wire wire WHT goes hot, then the switch is working
and HAZ , switch is bad, as most are that old.
the wile oddity here is how haz/brake/turn bulbs are all shared.
there is no discrete brake bulb or elements there.
saving money on bulbs but complex switch above.
now comes my trick
hamper the haz and turns levers. on and off
the silly switch likes to stick 1/2 way and fail
so cycling them. say 5 times each. the rust is cleared away and the contacts wake up.
not many 40 year switches work or work reliable now.
buy new switch I would..
the switch is here. new
