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 |

Don't know if its on that circuit (too lazy to look it uo right now) but check the wires for the reverse lights at the trans. If they fall on the exhaust or axle it will cause an intermittant short. |
