Welcome to the B Zone!
I'm glad to hear you were able to fix your problems with our advice.
The advice I give is from my own problems and fixes over the last 4 years and probably the best investment I put into my FSB, a dealership shop manual I ordered from Ford.
Ford did build a great truck with the Bronco but the electrical system leaves a bit to be desired.

Good info!!! I kept blowing fuses for my tailights everytime I hit the brakes. Found a wire touching the leaf springs and shorting out. Fixxed that and used some zipties to secure it, and no more problems!!!
