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?

Clarification for the relay board fuses.
The front fuse is for use on Sportamatic cars. Rear fuse powers fuel pump, AAR, rear window defroster, and heater fan. most folks use the front fuse holder to keep a spare fuse in. Although the Haynes manual calls for a 25 amp fuse, if you are not running a rear window defrost, use a 16 amp. I don't have my heater fan in and only run an 8 amp. Always use the lowest amp fuse that the circuit will allow. Fuel pump is about 5 amp, heater fan about 5 amp, AAR is about 1.5 amp. So a 16 should be fine. Tom |
