Well, the next set of problems. She now fires easily and reuns reasonably well.
Lights work fine. Hazzards work fine. Gen light (it says gen. ) comes on slightly and the battery is getting about 13 volts. I am guessing voltage regulator. when the turn signals or brakes are used, the gen light glows brightly and neither the signals or brake lights work. Ideas? SAme issue witht he wipers, not functioning and apparent ground issue. Tach doesn't work either. Any and all imput grately appreciated. |

Check all grounds. Ground strap from tranny to trunk. A tight ground bolt doesn't mean its a good electrical connection. Remove all ground points; clean metal with sandpaper or file on both sides until shiny and replace. Do the same with battery connections.
Someone else should chime in about where all the ground points are. Were these items not working before or are these new issues? |
