I started my car tonight and noticed despite the headlight switch being fully in the off position, my dash lights are on and my license plate light is .
Odd. Never saw that before. Headlight switch I imagine.... Thoughts? David Addedum-and saw what I thought was a wisp of smoke come from under my dash at the windshield....perhaps my imagination? |

Wiring diagrams:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/914_electrical_diagrams.htm 73 wiring diagrams: http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73A.jpg http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73B.jpg http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73D.jpg http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73D.jpg http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Elec...lectric_73E.jpg Interesting. Part #26 is labeled "steering column switch", and appears to combine the functions of both the ignition switch and the wiper stalk. The wiper motor gets power from the "fresh air relay", which is a power-supply relay for lots of stuff up in the dash. I don't have time to check the other stuff on there. I'm not as fond of the 73 diagrams as the later ones, as I find them harder to read.... --DD |

Venture a guess which relay is the wiper relay and fresh air relay (1973) from picture enclosed? TY D |
