Couple of quick questions. My headlight door motors work great but the headlights don’t come on. I happen to have another headlight switch that’s proven but it failed to fix the issue.

It’s on a 1974 914 If that’s relevant

Is there a headlight relay somewhere or something I should look at?

My turn signals flash quickly and I only have one brake light. Is it the same as the turn signal and the bulb just burned out? Hmmm ( I can check that pretty quick )

Check the connections of the four small red wires at the battery. If you look at a wiring diagram you will see that these are the wires that provide power to a number of the circuits at the fuse panel. Jeff Bowlsby’s websire has the electrical wiring diagrams for the various model years. I have the diagram for my 74 printed out and labels written on the diagram so I don’t have to read the key to see what number each component is.
