I picked up a 914 a couple of weeks ago and am now sorting through it to get it on the road. Today I cleaned up the throttle body and put it back into the car, while I was idling, I pulled the heater lever and it killed the electrical, I put lever down and started the car once more, again pulled the heater lever. The second time, the electrical went out, now I'm not getting any power. What could cause this?

That lever contains a switch that powers the heater squirrel-cage fan in the engine compartment. Apparently there's a short in the circuit.

QUOTE(mittelmotor @ Dec 23 2012, 10:04 PM)  That lever contains a switch that powers the heater squirrel-cage fan in the engine compartment. Apparently there's a short in the circuit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The heater blower circuit is running through the same fuse (on the relay board) as the fuel pump. Check the fuses on your relay board. One should be blown. Then find the short in the heater blower/lever circuit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
