Stumbled on something new, Dash lights Options

[Joe Ricard]

So I was messing around with my teener (imagine that). With head lights on Tach lights and speedo doesn't.
But if I leave just parking lights on Speedo lights and tach lights.

Some circuit is askew. So who is the wizard for this one? 70 914 with 71 splice job done long ago by who knows.

Oh and the brights will not click to on. Only turn on as long as I old the lever back.

Found it, Not sure how to fix it though. So the best wiring diagram I have (for a 71 model car) shows a white wire W/green stripe on terminal 57 of the head lite switch going to the speedometer lighting circuit.

Well my 70 speedometer doesn't have a terminal for this wire. Hmm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
So I go spelunking pull head light switch out and find white wire with green stripe is whee it should be. However it has in it's life time gotten hot and melted the insulation off. Probably a short somewhere. Couldn't find the other end as it was starting to drizzle and get dark.

Since this car seems to have a 71 wiring harness spliced in somehow this kinda shit drives me crazy.. How is the 70 speedo supposed to be lit. (illuminated).

Should figure this out soon as I would also like to light my gauges in the dash. CHT, Oil pressure, Oil Temp.

On a lighter note I got the cigarette lighter to work so I can now charge my cell phone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
