I did a search and could not find anything, but where should I start - I noticed when I started my 914 last that the "charge" light on the dash was not lit. After I started the car I also noted that my Voltmeter, which usually shows 14+ volts is showing 12, and lesss when I load up the charging system with lights and fog lamps. What are the typical culprits?

I still hate the German style fuses from when I had a BMW 320i. Occasionally I would have to twist the fuses and r&r the relays so the car would start. When I get my 914 (i pick it up Sept 4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) I am thinking of installing the modular replacement fuse panel I have seen just to avoid this problem from the start.

You'll still have to deal with them on the relay board. |
