My 73 has the left front and rear parking light always on, key on or off. Only can get it off by pulling the 5th fuse. Tried replacing the turn signal switch with a new one, but no help. anybody seen this? Maybe the headlight switch?

Just so you know, 914's are wired so that if you leave the turn signal on, that turn signal lights on that side stay on after the car is turned off and key removed. I was once told this is a feature required by some European locations where they want the side lights on when you park parallel to the curb. What all this means to you is that it is normal for the turn signals to be hot even with the key off. I'd guess that system is shorted or malfunctioning in some way in your steering column switch assembly.

Funny...
Your left side marker/turn lights won't go off, mine won't come on. Traced down the wiring, checked all of the connections, still can't see a problem. I am expecting a broken wire somewhere. What fun. |
