Three cheers for "search"!

Postby bahbzilla » 16 Aug 2010 13:13

I hadn't spent much time sorting out my electricals yet, but decided to get going on that while waiting for some parts. No turn signals, and no hazards. I entered my search criterea and patiently hit re-try three times, and what do you know, a thread discussing my exact problem. Turn signals run through the hazard circuit...clean your hazard switch and try it again. I pulled the switch panel out and cleaned/greased them all. The only one that looked really bad was the hazard switch. The contacts looked like they were made of turquoise! Put it all back together and viola, signals and flashers! It's amazing what happens when you actually let the juice flow. After 10 years collecting dust, it looks like this wedge will be back on the road in a matter of weeks. Feeling the excitement now... This is a great forum!

Now you just have to do every other connection/switch on the car and you will have reliable electrics for years to come.[:p]

Clever lad. It's just a shame the Search isn't easier to use.

Don't forget the 4 earth points for the loom, always a good idea to freshen those up.
