Success! Here are both indicators on with the emergency flashers on. They also work individually with the turn signals on. And I had to invert the left and right wires to reconcile the circuit change in the new flasher relay.


Our project has both turn signals and the 4 way flashers working, but not the indicator lights are not lighting. is there a separate feed for the indicator lights.

BTW: looks great


Sounds like you have the same problem I had. The positive feeds to the left and right indicator lights in the tach (black/green and black/white wires, from the hazard switch) were working but the ground was not. I added the ground as per the design of Spoke and got the indicators to work.


Thank you Bob, could this be as simple as pulling the speedo and adding a ground wire?

On mine, I pulled the tach, and removed the "ground" from the indicator lights (blue and white wire). I then added a ground jumper connecting both lights and the ground connection at the main bus on the tach.

Here's the new interior light ash-tray fitting in aluminum. The second piece will attach the lamp holder to the underside of the original ash tray slide.

More electrical testing. I could not get any voltage from contact in the cig lighter, and so pulled it out.

I guess I had "temporarily" installed it without checking or cleaning it. Pretty nasty inside.

One mark in the loss category, at least for now: my clock stopped working.

Clock follow-up: when I connected the battery today, at first the clock did not run. Later it started ticking. So, I have a part-time clock?

Back to the cig lighter, I pulled the lighter section apart, and cleaned the components.

With all the rust and crud gone, I re-installed the lighter socket and tested the power--success!

Now I have a functional cig lighter. I never expect to light any cigs, but it might be handy as a power outlet.

And then back to my new interior light holder. Here is the internal bracket piece, screwed into the underside of the slide.

To get the two pieces to stick in the right position temporarily, I got out my gallon of contact cement.

Final test fit. I think this will work, but it looks kinda plain.

I found something that fits--what do you guys think? I would use a black logo over brushed aluminum.

Moving along my shelf of parts, I checked the key in the door latches I removed way back in the beginning. I have 2 keys. The more warn key opens one door lock, but only the less warn key opens the other. Both keys work in the ignition.

Next on the shelf was the box of seat belt parts. I had the original webbing replaced, and with a little color for the interior.
