'73 1.7, driving along (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) both dash turn indicator lights and brake light started flashing continuously (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . Found out I had a burned out turn signal bulb. Did my 914World searching and learned the flashing is to "let you know" you have a bulb out, great! Changed out the bulb, flashing continues. Cleaned light socket contacts, bulb ends, changed out bulbs in matched pairs, replaced flasher unit with new RockAuto unit, still continual flashing. Added a little brake fluid, no change.
All my lights work as designed, all of them. Dash turn indicators are bright and work individually when used. The new flasher unit causes the dash indicators to flash continually dimmer than the original unit. I have found a white w green strip wire near the flasher unit that has no connection, no fitting, just a blunt cut wire with no obvious "answer" to its placement. I am NOT a great schematic guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Something changed! Ideas? Attached thumbnail(s)
