I have a couple gremlins I'm trying to sort out and thought I would post it up here...
Most of everything is working just fine, headlights/motors are working much better than they did in the parts car. I imagine thats because theres actual metal around the ground points.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyways heres what I got 1: Turn signals.. with headlights off left and right turn signals work just fine as do the 4-ways. With headlights on only the left turn signal works. right does nothing. no click, nothing. 2: trunk light and license plate lights are getting no power. This is coming off of fuse 7 along with the gauge lights which are working just fine and dimming when the knob is turned. I think this one might be a simple wire broken but I'm not sure yet. All I know is that I have no power when checked at the trunk light and ground.. |

1- Could be the flasher relay. Not sure exactly how you'd test it, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
2- There is a gray wire that goes through the main wiring harness and powers the engine bay light/rear trunk light and the license plate lights. In 74+ cars, it is hooked to the black/blue wire that powers the center console instrument lights. The connection is a little different in 73 and earlier cars, I think. Check connectivity on that wire. You may find it bundled up alongside the main harness in the center tunnel. What year is this 914? --DD |
