If both turn signals come on at the same time, you have something connected wrong. Without front signals, the rears should blink very fast, or glow continuously, but not both at once. I agree that di

Be careful with this. I think compression testers are more suitable for comparing cylinders than for getting absolute measurements. I had my compression checked at a shop, and checked it myself with

Electric brakes sure sound nice, I like the fact that you can apply the trailer brakes only. Why do you need to do that? If you don't push the pedal, it won't brake, right? Ulix __/__,__ ________/___
