1984 Sunrader
I have 1985 shop manual
that recommends to check
relay that is for taillights,license plate light
and parking lights,
but doesn’t show where it’s
located ? Any one know.

Checked all fuses all good
this photo is of the fuse box on the right wheel well (question ) ) thepurpose of two black routers I think that’s what there called the inside one is for the
emission system,
what is the one closest to the fender for I noticed when I turn the lights on I hear a ping coming from it but when I take
it out the lights still work
except the red taillights?
-
Still searching?
-
Just realized all running lights and tail lights are out,
everything else okay turn signal,emergency flashers,headlights
and backup.
checked all fuses in driver side of cab, okay all running lights and tail have been rewired and replaced with LED lights
any suggestions were to look next?

Does it feel like it's running normal?
definitely feels stronger especially on hills
higher idle rpm,
filled gas tank then drove 75 mixed miles filled again divided miles by gallons used
had been getting 13 mpg mixed with 174,000 miles on weak climbing engine,
observed work being done by highly rated mechanic in Pasadena,CA
only thing i didn't get any break in instructions?

Well for starters look at your coolant. Is there still any there. Testing compression in cylinders is a sure way to know. I you can't do it maybe a mobile repair guy. When you start it does it run really rough? Check your oil, does it look milky like coffee with cream. That's a dead giveaway for head gasket failure.

Did the compression test today
149/150 across started up for a short time after no whit smoke some moisture from tail pipe third and fourth spark plugs not as clean as first two ,rough idle but always did until auto choked warmed up? No coolant added water before starting.

Sorry to tell you this but sounds like a blown head gasket. Pressure blew out the heater core and that's what caused the water on the passenger side floor. You need to have it checked out right away and don't drive it.
Linda S
Going to auto zone to borrow compression tester,not sure about oil looks like its always after been used awhile no smoke out of exhaust
is it possible to blow out the heating core without a blown head gasket?
-
What can I do to make sure its a blown head gasket before I have it towed to a shop?
