So my 3 year project is on the road...first 914 i have ever owned so maybe this is normal???
when I put my turn signal on (74-2.0) the little green light on the tach flashes. when it self cancels, sometimes the green light stays on steady. If I move the signal lever a little it goes off??? just the little light not the actual signal lights on the corners any idea? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) SW |

Before you troubleshoot anything, do this...
Disconnect battery remove fuse panel under dash find ground stud remove nut and clean all terminals with wire wheel or emery cloth replace all grounds, nut and tighten replace fuse panel reconnect battery Now what is your car doing? Same thing? if so check all the ground connections behind the gauge cluster. test again... |

I figured it might be a ground...years ago I owned British cars and the solution in most cases was the same Cheers |
