I am having trouble with my left turn signal. Let me detail; ground tested and is good, replaced , replaced column switch, new relays, new bulbs, swapped housings from left to right, new fuses. noticed that when I clicked the emergency flashers it blew that fuse. Right works fine, the left turn filament is very dim and the read does not do anything. I have spent two weeks trying to track this down. I have built entire harnesses for vintage race cars and this has me baffled. Please help! Thanks, Jeff

A dim light says to me that you've got either a grounding problem, a high resistance connection, or a couple of wires swapped.
How sure are you that you've dealt with the grounds? Have you matched up the wires on the front AND REAR turn signal buckets with Jeff Bowlsby's diagrams? https://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/TechNotebook.htm --DD |

I have checked the ground connection at the front where the 4 prong terminal is located behind the left front headlight, all is good. I am not sure if there is a separate ground location at the rear. The left front and rear parking lights work powered by the grey w/black stripe. The black w/white stripe has been compromised somewhere. I have checked every fuse, relay, column switch and wiring that I can get my hands on. My next step will b to run jumper wires to bypass the black w/white wire to the left front/rear light housings. Keep in mind that the right turn signal fuction. Thanks again, Jeff |
