    On a separate note, I think I need a ujoint. Might just drop the whole driveshaft off at a local driveline place and have all of them changed.

    I've been studying so I can go get mine. Not really concerned over the legality of being on the radio, more so just so I know how the thing works...

    I used a website called HamTestOnline. Check out https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/ Great site, lots of info there. It'll cost you $25 for a 2 year access license. Just start taking practice tests. There is no limit to how many you can take. You'll get it down without too much time spent. I used it for 3-4 weeks when I had and extra 20 minutes here and there. When I started consistantly scoring in the 90% range, I went to a local ham club that administers the exam.

    Sounds good, I'll do that. What HAM club did you go to, I live pretty close to you in the summer so its probably close enough for me.

    I went to a place in Renton, it was a club named Mike and Key Amateur Radio Club that managed the exam.

    Here is a link you can use to find who is doing the exams and when they are scheduled. http://www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-session

    You could have just bought the relay that takes like 2 minutes to install and replaces the old blinker relay lol.

    @TacoVio I wasn't sure which flasher to buy. The OEM blades are unlabeled so it's hard to tell whether it is a BLE or an ELB.

    considering the outcome is the same, spending $0 and cutting a trace on a PCB > spending $12 on a new relay.

    I have a 95 with cruise control I removed the cat converter because it was bad and added a straight pipe. Could the cruise control have a bad fuse that would stop it from working?
