Hey All,
I swapped all of my bulbs for LEDs from Autolumination and/or superbrightleds, and have encountered some unexpected issues. Replacing the turn signal flasher was a known. I tried TimK's hack on the CF13 GL-02 flasher, and when installed and engaged, it just sat there, although the hazard flashers worked fine (it seems to work on the same relay). I noticed this aftermarket "LED" compatible relay design leaves out the "C" ground pin, so I have a different one on order from Autolumination that has it. When I raise my headlights, the tachometer dials up to 3-4K and then returns to rest. My dash instrument lights have also been replaced with tiny LEDs to match the originals, but they only flash once briefly when the light switch is pulled. My blue high beam indicator is lit when the parking lights are on, and my license plate lights never come on. I picked up a 1974 color wiring diagram from Prospero's Garage ( http://stores.ebay.com/Prosperos-Wiring-Di...sid=p4340.l2563 ) and noticed that many of the wires that connect to the computer are tied together. I cut that part of the harness off and tied off all of those wires individually (see image). I'm wondering if I need to reconnect some of those wires to preserve the original circuit path. <http://914electric.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/elect_danglies.jpg> http://914electric.files.wordpress.com/201...ct_danglies.jpg Does anybody have similar experiences? Also, is there a good source for the factory color wiring diagram (Prospero's diagrams do not give terminal designations for any switches - i.e. 56A, 56, C, 32, etc.). Much thanks for any help. (I was informed by Mikey at 914Rubber that there is another markb, so from now on I will be:) MCBrems |

Here is a full composited color current flow diagram that I combined from all the sectional files on Pelican Part Tech forum:
