914World.com _ 914World Garage _ No dummy lights

Posted by: nivekdodge Aug 24 2023, 08:06 AM

Went for a ride with the lights on the other night for ten or fifteen minutes and it was fine. Now my dummy lights don't work and the tach is flipping up and down. I checked grounds and fuses and nothing evident and the car still runs. ????

any ideas off the top of someones head?

Are you running a high amp halogen headlamp? If so maybe something up stream got hot.

No everything but the usb voltage gauge is factory. But I am looking for recommendations after this is fixed

You popped fuse #8 or #9. Many possible causes for that, but the immediate cause of the lights and tach is the popped fuse.

Yes Dave, you are correct. I found a sheet that details the fuses and is getting laminated. Actually while going thru the fuses for the 18th time i found the spade lug, just barely dangling off the fused side of the block.

Thanks all,
Kevin
