Jumped in to Type 3 this arvo and turned the key on and .................. electrical smoke fire.
😠
I took the clock out and to the speedo out to get a better look of what going on behind the dash. One of the clock wires is the victim. There is a wire for the clock
light and a RED wire that runs to the main headlight switch on dash. It is this RED wire that has burnt out all the way from the clock to the headlight switch. The red wire has earthed on the dash as it might have been rubbing in this position for a while? As the clock never worked I removed all the dead wiring towards the headlight switch. I checked around for any damage to any other wires and nothing I could really spot. Since I wasnt fussed about the clock wire I put all the dash etc back together and was going to be on my way when.......... Part 2 madness begain.
When I now turn the key onto accessaries the blinker relay makes a buzzing noise and there are no oil or charge light. Turn the key and she fires up and the buzzing noise disappears. If I use a turn signal, the fuel needle moves from empty to full, back and forward and the charge light come on. To make things more confusing, if I use the hazard lights, the indictors work and the charge and oil light flash. The blinker relay box still make the proper click noise when the engine is on. All fuses are in working order, all lights/indictors work, and radio.
Can any one help with a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Brad.
