Hey all -
73 1.7L FI in a 1971 tub, installed by McMark. While driving today - I depressed the brake pedal and had the tach, gas go to zero, and the red ALT light light up. Release brake, gas / tach return to normal. Depressing the brake pedal provides NO BRAKE LIGHTS, so that is bad. Turning on headlamps, operation normal. Turning on turn signals - tach and gas drop to zero, no turn signals. No Hazards - but that has been going on for some time. Prior to this - turning on the turn signals lit up the big red light as the switch flickered, but it also did produce turn signals. Not any more. When going over bumps - red ALT light flickers, when low RPM red light begins to glow, goes dark with higher RPMs. Also - when driving today on the freeway after 45mins at high speed, developed a little stutter, not bad, almost un-noticable, not all the time. possibly not related - dunno. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ugh, I hate the elec shit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) where to start oh great and wise brain trust.....????? thanks in advance.... td |

answering my own questions after a bit of research on this forum -
Which fuse does what? Left to right, the fuses are numbered. 1 Left high beam 2 Right high beam 3 Left low beam 4 Right low beam 5 Left parking/running lights 6 Right parking/running lights 7 Taillights (including license plate lights) 8 Brake lights, horn, wipers, lighter 9 Power to gauges and G light (charging system), turn signals 10 Fog lights (if fitted) 11 Hazard lights 12 Headlight motors Fuses 8 and 12 are 25A, the rest are 8A. In later years, they dropped to 16A fuses for 8 and 12, and raised 10 to 16A, too. |
