Gang,
Looking for any BTDT advice or electrical guru input. I have everything on the dash working and wired in. The only puzzle is the turn signal indicators in the tach. When the stalk is engaged the gauge indicator light illuminates (and clicks) "once" and then stops. The external turn signals all work properly. Any thoughts on why the gauge lights would only flash once and then stop? Thanks! |

Quick check for the TSR is:
Take the stalk and click it up and down in each direction like it should be doing through the relay. If the light corresponds, the blinker circuit is working. In the "Olden Times" you could actually pop off the old style lids and clean up the contacts with jewelers files. EMEA and US changed to the more common canister and square relays in the 60's, tap them and the relay sometimes will unlock, most times it sticks, infrequently it toasts a fuse or drives a bulb hard to failure. I read it in Popular Mechanics in the early 70's, yes BillH1963, I was just a toddler;-) Oh, the APAC car vendors had this fixed way before we did, throw away the car every 40K miles:-) |
