My 73 914 just arrived from Georgia (Original color Delphi Green Metallic). I bought it site unseen and had it shipped. It was cheap and I'm a little nuts! It's a decent car that is to become a nice hotrod someday.
The first I am working on is getting the electrical issues sorted so I can drive it. The car starts, runs and drives. The following electrical problems are present. 1) No Brake lights (switch in place) 2) No headlights (they go up and down) 3) No turn Signals I do have all running lights working with the headlight switch on. tail lights, side markers, and front lights. I have no power at fuses 1 through 5 and new fuses in place. When I dropped the fuse box everything looked ok with the exception of a light blue wire cut from the last position far right. Still have power there. Looking for some advice on where to start hunting down the issues. Thanks Steve |

As previously mentioned, get the schematics for the car from Pelican Parts. Also buy a volt-ohm-meter if you don't have one. Start by checking the fuses under the driver side dash. Pick one issue and solve it. Check all bulb sockets to make sure they are clean and the bulbs do work. Good luck. |
