Headlight problems

Seems every time I drive my 39’ 1/2 ton truck the lights quit working or won’t turn off. Is is difficult to go to a modern pull switch? Don’t have a horn so it won’t be missed..

Re: Amp gauge

Amp gauge has hoop, truck is 12 volt negative. I’m not confident with electrical so I’ll have a friend help check for charging to battery

Amp gauge

I have a 1939. 1/2 ton truck and would like to know how to check the amp gauge. It doesn’t seem to move when engine is started. I jumped battery and field and still no movement that I can see.

Re: Headlight fuse blows

I unscrewed the high beam switch from the floor and just let it hang by the wires, when I press it to change from low to high and back the fuse does not blow…. Wondering if grounding out?

Re: No headlights or taillights

Truck has a brand new reproduction wiring harness. Doesn’t mean there might be a problem.

Re: No headlights or taillights

Haven’t thought about the brakes being hot, maybe a wire came off brake switch. Thanks for the suggestions
