all good suggestions thank you!!

I do not know what type of switch is in there currently. What is a good source & part number for the mechanical switch? I take it to test to see if it is good is place an ohm meter across the terminals and see if there is a change between brakes being applied and released? is the switch closed or open when the brakes are not applied?

The 30A fuse was blown and nothing worked. I looked underneath and nothing appeared to be bent or broken so I replaced the fuse and thats how I got the suspension to work with the over ride switch. The fuse for the 7.5 amp appeared to look okay. However I did not put an ohm meter across that.

I will look into those grounds for the turn signals. What I meant when the turn signals didnt work is I hit the switch and I did not see any lights illuminating, or flashing. But when the parking lights are turned on (first position out on the head light switch) both the parking lights and tail lights illuminate.

You are correct. It is the striker that I am missing.

This is number 1036. I believe you and I have sent some PM's about this vehicle in the past couple months.
