Hello "Brain trust"
Thinking this is an Ignition Switch Issue (but not like I have experienced before) I really did search here and in the www. In a nutshell 73 1.7 ... runs starts and runs fine. When I put the key in and turn to "ON" I have a dead dash. No radio, blinker, or even the Gen light that used to come one . I crank and the engine fires up just fine. But a dead dash and accessories as above including no tach. (no gen light on) As soon as I hit the gas or turn something on (blinkers / headlights) the dash then operates as it should . but gen light now on. 12.6 battery voltage and 14.2 when running . Headlight and hazzards work always (maybe they get power from a more direct source) I could see the switch being bad and not getting power to the dash . but why when I rev or turn something on would it then "make all work ?" interesting and I keep second guessing the alt / and voltage reg are are fault ... but voltage seems good ... believe that is due to what ever issue I have. It is dim at idle and gas . with blink switch on the blinkers dont work and the Gen light become brighter / blinks when the blinkers should be on. any thoughts ? |
