..... and no! wtf ....
-I checked continuity from the #7 fuse holder out to the license plate light holders. -Also checked from license plate light circuit into the light switch. Several connectors have continuity. Yep, all good EXCEPT it connects to the negative circuit on both license plate lights and the trunk light. Weird. Not sure what to do next. Haasman |

Does anyone know if there is a separate wiring diagram for 914-6?
There are some connections through a relay that I am unfamiliar with,. Wondering if they enable flashing the fog lights? Haasman |

Yes it is a factory six. Suggestions on finding a diagram for just the 914-6?
Also in more continuity checking today, I found that from the #7 fuse to the trunk light, both the neg & pos connect. How would I find that? Appreciate your help. Haasman |

Thank you for the wiring diagram.
Stupid question- since there is continuity from the #7 fuse to both LP lights and trunk light, could I simply by-pass the ground wire going to the trunk light and create a ground right to it at its location? Haasman |

First time replying, long time lurking in the background.
Just had to say THANK YOU all for posting your experiences. I just figured out my trunk light was reverse connected causing the dead short which had eluded my detection for quite some time. I first noticed that I had no instrument panel lights on my first drive home from buying my 74' 1.8 green beauty. The same night the frunk cable housing let go from its mooring and I could not fill it with over 300 miles to get home. A quarter tank was not going to do it. Shortly after that the fuel pump seals let go nearly draining the tank onto my shop floor! Caught it and got drain pan under it. Having solved all these issues, I look forward to running about the Black Hills and Big Horn mountains this summer. Your advisements and topics will surely be needed in the future! Thank you all again! |

QUOTE(haasman @ Jun 7 2022, 10:41 PM) Both rear license plate lights and trunk light do not go on. The #7 fuse continues to blow (their fuse). Any suggestions where to go from here. It is a 1970 914-6. Haasman (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
