I bought a new Optima battery a few weeks ago. Decided to put it in tonight and try out the electricals (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) . I've been wanting to do this for a while , but have been a bit afraid of what I might find.
I scrutinized the harness from end to end before I installed it. I put a lot of effort into trying to insure that I made all the right wire connections. And...it paid off well!!! Almost everything works as it should (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) . I'm a bit amazed, and much relieved! So far only a couple of issues to resolve! Got lights in the front! Attached image(s) |

Brake lights, turn signals, emergency flasher, dash lights, fresh air fan controls -3 speeds and back lighting, rear defrost, interior light, windshield wipers -2 speeds, cigarette lighter, horn all work!!!

I need to change some wiring on the door switches to get the interior light to switch on and off correctly. And the horn is a bit sensitive. But, all-in-all this is great! This is the first time in over 15 years that this car has had any of these items functioning. And I'm guessing that there are parts from at least 6 or 8 different cars in there! Made my day! |
