After some bulb replacemts all the lights have been working fine on my '73 1.7. Then today my license plate lights and dash lights don't illuminate. The turn signal indicators, oil, brake, alt, and bright indicator work fine, just not the lights for the gauges. Checked the bulbs and fuses, what is the next step? Would the license and gauge lighting be connected?

The license lights are on a separate circuit from the taillights. The same circuit also powers the rear trunk light and the instrument lights.
Using a test light, pull fuse #7. Then with the headlight switch in the park light position, see if the test light comes on on one side of the fuse. If it does, clean the fuse contacts and replace the fuse. IF it doesn't, then you have to pull the headlight switch and replace it. If the fuse blows, it means you have a short you need to track down. |
