Slowly back to life Options

[SKL1]

Slowly bringing my '73 2.0 back to life after a long restoration process.

Wired the relay to front headlights with new H4 bulbs, new J West fuse panel, etc. Have the factory shop manuals with wiring diagrams, though being colourblind doesn't help much even with my reading glasses (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hooked up the battery last night and no electrical fires, but all sorts of intereting findings... rear signals flash the back up lights (hopefully easy to redo) , but the parking brake light flashes continuously if ignition is on, the headlights don't work at all, and don't park correctly, gauge lighting doesn't work on any dash or gauge panel gauges, and the list goes on.

Any decent direction as what to tackle first????


God, I HATE electrical issues!!!!!!

(at least no fires or fried wires...yet- had that 40 some one years ago when rewiring my fog lights for a flasher on the silver '71- back then we actually flashed lights when we saw another Porsche. Of course, many 911 would ignore me, but that's another story...)
