Guys,
My 914 has issues. The driver's side turn signal some time works, some time does not. When the signal does not work--both turn signal arrows in the tach will blink. When it does work, only the right arrow will blink. WTF? I presume this is a wiring issue? How do I fix this? |

I would take apart all the turn signal covers/buckets and clean all the bulb contacts and grounds before buying any new parts. That needs to be done anyway on these old cars, and I've found it will fix a lot of these quirks. If there is oxidation/corrosion on the tabs, a little sandpaper will work wonders. Maybe a cone-shaped wire brush tip in a drill to get into tight spots. Some WD40 sprayed on the contacts before putting the bulbs back in... This treatment solved my turn signal problems.
