Hello 914 brothers and sisters! I have a 73 914 with a 75 engine. Had some issues with the light switch which I believe is a 75 switch (12 pin, the 73 switch is 9 pin). When the turn signals are used they don't work and the low oil pressure light comes on (pressure is not low). This is recent, always worked before. Has anybody seen anything like this? Thank you in advance.

Headlight switch? The 73 switch should be a 10-pin, the 75 switch is an 11-pin.

They are functionally identical, doubt the headlight switch is the cause of the issue you are experiencing.
