Don't worry Bill, I wont. I'm sure my grandfather would find a way to slap me from his grave if I did.

So I got the wires ran, roughly, through the car last night. The headlight wiring was messed with before and is badly cracked. That will be remedied before those are connected. Since I knew the wires for the taillight were in decent shape, I started there.

I connected the two wires to the brake light switch, and the two at the light. I connected the harness to the cutout on the generator. No luck. I tested the bulb and it works fine. So I disconnected the harness from the generator. When touching it directly to the starter, the taillight, and brake light work perfectly, (well almost, the brake light switch sticks a little).

So what am I missing?
