Hey all!
I was driving the teener to Target on Saturday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) when I noticed my RPM guage was sitting at about 1K (I know I was up around 3K). Then I see my temp guage is lower than normal, etc. Then all my guages go dead (except for the speedo of course). The faint glow of the GENERATOR light is on. Once I get to Target I take a look at the fuse box... FUSE 9 is blown. I figure, no biggie, I haven't changed these fuses in years. So I load a new '8' into FUSE 9. Drive around some more and it shorts out again in about 10-15 miles. Anyways, just wondering if there are any 'obvious' issues with a blown FUSE 9 on a '75 that anyone has seen before I start testing everything.... Also, anyone have a list of whats on FUSE 9? My Clymers guide wasn't too descriptive.... THX for any help! |

I believe that fuse #9 is backup lights, stop lights and maybe rear turn signals.
I'd check for a short back there in your wiring. Hope this helps, Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) P.S. Post again if this doesn't sort it out. |
