Ever have the fuel pump kick on when you turn on the marker lights? how about the headlights deciding to work sporadically coupled with no brake lights or turn signals...
Not sure this is worth trying to track or chase down. I have all the wiring diagrams and everything matches, so I know i have the correct wires. I am thinking my headlight switch is bad and possibly a few other items. I am thinking it might be easier to rewire these functions but willing to give it a few more tries if anyone has been down this road before. Any thoughts or good threads I should study? thank you So many helpful fixes, down to 1 thing left, the turn signals, detailed diagnosis on my last post... |

Update 3: I found a ground ring floating in the engine bay under the circuit/power board behind the driver seat. It had 5 brown wires. Once I attached that correctly. flashers turn signal, hazards and hi beams now all work!!! No random fuel pump operating. I really need to learn more about how an unconnected ground could cause these anomalies.
Fixed the low beam. issue was the fuse not conducting properly. Will upgrade the fuse box to the blade style. Thank you for all the help. |

That' not the correct fuze identification for 914-4's : First fuze (on right) is left headlite hi beam, 2nd is rt hi beam, 3rd is left low beam, 4th is rt low beam |
