Check those ground straps

[Rickysnickers]

Before moving last year, I had to hurriedly install a new engine into the truck so it could be running and get loaded onto the transporter. We did just that, and got it running.

Since then, I had been having issues with my LED turn signals. They were working fine before the engine swap and then all of a sudden they were doing the fast blink nonsense. The Dakota gauges would also blink once in a while. Last night (yeah I know why did you wait so long ) I was farting around and checked the ground strap from the battery to the back of the head. It was loose, as in it was wiggling around quite a bit!! Tightened it up and checked the blinkers, all is good. I also bought some more ground straps to put on the truck as I don't think there are all that many.

When electrical issues pop up, first 2 things to check is fuses and grounds..
