I have a 74 914 which has been in storage for many years, after installing a new battery I can not get any systems to work when the ignition is turned on... The looms appear to be in very good shape and are unmolested.. Is this a power relay problem? no starter crank action ... nothing seems to work, power seems to be getting to the relay board...Suggestions are welcome.. JON [swb911s]

Jeff, that "power relay" is power to the fuel injection. It doesn't really have anything to do with power to the dashboard, for instance.
If you have zero power to anything, no dash lights or anything else, you need to check the battery connections. You've just messed with those, a problem showing up immediately after that points pretty strongly to what you just did. Check the connections at the battery, that they are clean and tight (and, that you didn't do something like leave the plastic cover on one of the posts--DON'T ASK HOW I KNOW THAT!!). Also look for the red wires that should hook onto the (+) clamp that goes to the battery. And check the other end of both the ground strap (onto the side of the engine bay) and the positive cable (onto the starter). --DD |
