Ok guys, Austin here, got the 914 a few days ago, suprisingly the body is immaculate. There are some minor blemishes and bubbles here and there, but the underbody is completely solid along with battery tray and hell hole area, it is fuel injected and i got the engine to fire for a few seconds. all electronics are working great except for my reverse and break lights, also when i turn the car on my flasher relay has power to it somewhere and instead of flashing the green arrows, it flashes the red square on the left side of the fuel gauge, was wondering what this meant or if anyone could help with these problems, also im having a really hard time getting it into reverse, ive gotten it a couple times but it seems to be pretty difficult. Thanks everyone for your help

The red square is supposed to flash when the parking brake is engaged. One screw holds the switch at the base of the Ebrake handle. Also, be sure the ground wire to the switch isn't touching the body and grounding out. This is a good time to service that switch, also.
