Here is what I lose:
Tach, fuel level, oil temp gauge, volt meter. Then the red alt. Light is on, but car runssmoother, it was not right before that.


This is a 75 2.0. D-jet new coil not long
ago, I have a hotspark module, no issues with it seems to be fine.. Had been running really good.
All lights stay on except I think the brake light, that could be the culprit? . I will recheck that. What else is on this circuit?
I thought tomorrow I would disconnet the fuel level sender, maybe that is the cause?

Check to see if your AAR wire is shorting to ground.


thanks, Jeff I will check that out. had not thought of it - i have not put in the ignition harness i got from you almost 2 months ago,. that might be the deal.

My short was in the rear trunk tail lights - brake if I recall correctly.
Hope it helps


I actually had these short out 2 years ago, had to re-splice and had not been a problem, i looked there, found one of the spades came loose , put it back together, but its still tripping, but i will look closer at the brake lines.

also thought maybe the fuel gauge might be the issue or a wire grounding out behind the gauges, i need to take a look there too, i will have time tonight. i thought about doing this trial an error, disconnect the aar. see if that stops it, then the fuel gauge, . i wish the book showed EVERYTHING that runs on one circuit. crazy how on the fuse panal it shows like 3 things and there are 10, LOL
