IndyAnne: 88 Chevy K1500 Shift Indicator Success

Following up on the Shift Indicator -- another success, and so far, nothing messed up like the trip odometer.

I was able to take my time with a butane lighter, an unbent paper clip, and little by little, with the heated end of the paper clip, carved the upside-down comma into the acrylic. The spring is attached, the cable from the steering column is attached, and everything is working great. I'll post a couple of photos tomorrow, just got my camera back for some better macro shots showing the success with that project.

Next: sorting out the electrical system behind the dash for an after-market stereo, and trying to figure out why none of the courtesy lights works. Should be exciting. Ri-i-i-ight.

And, after that, I need to pull as much as I can of the heater box and see what's up with the actuator in there.

Thanks to this forum, and Haynes and Chilton, I'm pretty sure I can isolate the offenders and maybe get some corrections done.
