The horn works too - everything except the little flashing yellow light on top!
I've still got the flasher off ours, if you want it.

Keep an eye on your jumper cables. Ours got smoking hot when we were moving it around - probably feeding a couple hundred amps through them. Those jaws/clamps don't offer much surface area where they're connected to stuff.

Wouldn't stop me from doing it again. Just sayin'.

I've read of a guy who's built a bunch of conversions, and his usual first test drive is with a "jumper cable" controller.
