Hi Teeners. For those of you who have seen everything 914 related, please have a look at the hack connection I found on the back of my fuse panel. I'm assuming this is the hazard relay? Why would it have needed a half assed jumper like this? My flashers do not work by the way, but I believe everything else does. I feel like I'm jumping into a rat hole here.
I also found another hack attached to the #8 fuse that ran to the non functioning A/C, I pulled that off the board. Any and all input is appreciated, not judged! Thanks  |

And it is a crap hack..... There is a thread somewhere on here that will tell you how to fix it right. Clay |

Thanks fellas. Maybe that explains why the fog lights turn on when the high beams should, and the reverse happens when the fog lights should light. I would like to bring it back to original if possible. Is an original style relay still available? If anyone has a link to that fix please share. I find it pretty difficult to search the forum. Sir Andy had a hack a while back that messed it up I think.

Format -- to search for relay board site:914world.com relay board I've got to admit though, it seems to me, this doesn't work as well as it used to. Google probably doing something with its algo? |

Found the thread, should have looked at Georges tips book first. It's a jumper to convert the new style 5 pin relay to to replace the NLA 4 pin version. The proper hack is to jumper it to the incoming power lug with the red/white wire. This guy just took it to the panel instead. I'm going to try to find a four pin.
1 down, plenty left to resolve. |
