Check and make sure that all the following is working properly:
⢠All headlamps (and high/low beams)
⢠Brake lights (including the middle-3rd light)
⢠Tail lights
⢠Side markers and turn signals

⢠The proper voltage is getting to every light
⢠The parking brake
⢠Check the condition of all brakes
⢠The wipers should work properly
⢠The horn
⢠The fuel cap OEM or of a compatible grade
⢠Check all the seat belts (they should work and be in good condition)
