Hey guys, I got one for you. I searched and did not find this dilemma.
Got in my car for it's weekly run. I noticed that the oil pressure and alt. Lights did not illuminate in the on position of the key switch. I start the car no problem. Them I notice that my Tach and Gas gauge are dead. I rev the car up and they come alive along with the alt light. Car is running and alt light is on. Turn signals don't work. Hazards do. All other lights work. I step on the brake and the gas gauge goes dead. I release brake peddle and gas gauge works again. I thought I read about this a while ago. What is it? Voltage regulator, brake switch, alternator, fuse, relay?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Thanks in advance for the help and smart ass comments to come. |

Agreed, My car started to behave once that went in... I'll do that one day...when my wife forgets how much I've already spent on this car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I went to my local VW shop and got a fuse cover from a 73 Ghia/ 72 Bug that fits our panel so I don't kick out fuses anymore...and it was only $7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Thanks for all the responses fellas...it's good to know people are always here when you're having problems out in the driveway. |
