Hi all,
I just purchased a v-8 converted 914 and inherited a bunch of electrical problems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
So much for "turn key" and "daily driver" descriptions....
It will be some time before I can get this vehicle to pass our state inspections...
The problems (electrical) so far,

Right side headlight no power
No horn (I don't even see a wire coming up the steering colum)
Wipers not working
Gas gauge not working
Hazard lamps not working
Front turn signals not working (Not even installed)
Back up lights not working

And that's only what I've found under a cursory examination. I'm sure there's lots more. But let us start simply.
There's no power to the right side headlight wire. There is power to the left side headlight and both front running lights.
The rear light array (excepting the backup lights) are working.
And the right side headlight ground seems good...

So, my guess is that there's a line fault on the right side headlight power line and I need to trace the wire for a fault?
Unless someone has some cool idea that I should check instead?
Thoughts?
