My new to me, 1970 914/4, has some iffy electrics..
The fuse in the number 7 spot, keeps blowing as soon as I turn the key to ignition on. So, this means I dont have any indicators or wipers working.. etc. Electrics are a little mysterious to me to be honest.. I do have a multimeter.. but I am not sure how to track this problem. I'm thinking I have a short somewhere on one of those systems.. Should I start by trying to unplug each and every component that uses that circuit, then reinstall another fuse, and turn the ignition on? How would an experienced auto electrician pinpoint a problem like this? Any and all advice appreciated.. Cheers Mike. |
