Working on a 1974 Porsche 914, when you turn the headlights on, the front headlights work fine but not tail lights! The back up light on the right side, inner light comes on and the right front running light comes on. The right rear light on far right comes on but its dim. I’ve checked and made sure the trans is in Neutral not reverse. Suggestions, thanks for any help.

Undo the 4 nuts and pull the housing out so you can flip it over. Then put the connectors where they need to be. Each terminal is labeled and wiring diagrams are easy to find.

I did that, it apppears when it came back from the body shop they had hooked the wires up improperly. After changing them back per diagram, all lights are working except the left side running lights. I’m not getting power to the rear lights #5 pole. I found I had a blown fuse, tomorrow I will see if I caint track down the bad wire causing the fuse to blow. Thanks |
