Snow In April

Due to unseasonable weather the Toronado has been pressed back into service after a two week spring rest.

Ordered a new drivers side drive axle, cheap rubber boots keep cracking, better to be prepared for eventual boot failure.

Also tail light problem has returned (also no dash or front marker lights), still have brake and turn signals but tailights are out. Much diagnosis revealed no power going to rear harnesss. Unfortunately not a break in the aluminium wiring GM used between the front and rear of the car... like last time.

I suspect it is the twilight sentinel control box as it turns the driving lights and tail lights on and off at dusk. Thee is a 78 Toro at a local yard I better check out for parts on my next lunch break, of course when it has stopped snowing.
