So the other day I decided to take my 914 out for a drive. About 20 mins. into the drive, the alternator light came on so I stopped and checked the belt and it was there. Started it back up and drove it home. On the way home, anytime I would press the brake pedal, the temp gauge and fuel gauge would drop to zero.
Drove for another 20 mins. until I got home. Turned it off, and when I turned the ignition back on, neither the oil or the generator light would come on, but the car would start right up. So I shut it off and when I got out of the car I noticed the right front turn signal, marker light and tailamp were on. So I disconnected the battery and that's where I am at. Anytime I hook the battery up, the right lights come on. The car starts but the oil and alt. light will not come on. Any ideas of where to start looking? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Patrick |

Look for the fuse you kicked out getting in/out of the car. All right lamps make sure your turn signal switch is centered.

All fuses are there and I spun them to see if things would come back to normal but no luck. I learned about the fuse kicking thanks to a local police officer stopping me for having no tailights when I first got the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Still acting up though... |
