A bat out of hell.  Group: Members Posts: 3,944 Joined: 31-January 05 From: Hercules, California Member No.: 3,533 Region Association: Northern California  |
A while back I cooked some of my wiring harness and connectors at the steering wheel. Then I took apart the steering wheel, blinker switch, ignition switch assembly and basically that's where I've left off.
Since then I've purchased a new aftermarket ignition switch, fuse box, wire, different connetors etc... It's been months and I keep staring at it thinking I'll do something but I have no idea what that "something" is. So I'm asking for help. =-) Is there someone near the Bay Area who I can hire/barter/bribe to help me on this one. I've managed to learn everything else to make my 914 what it is today but I'm afraid I'm stumped on some of the intricacies if the wiring at the steering wheel and other places. The schematic just overwhelmes me. =-( I'm tired of kidding myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Things I can offer are: a couple of spare stock axles/CV's use of my my 220V reverse polarity stick welder/MIG welder/oxy-acetylene setup assorted miscellaneous brainless chores spare aftermarket steering wheel use of my hydraulic spreader for body work a joy ride in one heck of a fast 914 afterwards I can cook one wicked pizza! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) What can I offer to make it worth your wild?

If I may make a sudjestion, there are plenty of guys cutting up old 914's, get a
loom from one of them. The wires that are fried, follow them back till they terminate or are know longer fried. Cut, splice, solder and shrink tube the connections. Plug them in and drive. Make sure you get a loom from a teener that is the same year. Love to help you but Iam to far away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
