Title: Electrics
Post by: Bug Maniac on December 07, 2005, 11:41:25 AM
I think the previous owner must have gone to the same school of electrics as me, the brake lights are on always even when the headlights are'nt on, where do I start with that one, also the ignition has been moved to the steering coloum, and whilst starting him if another key touches the coloum the horn sounds.

Any help with this one appreciated :rockon:

That is if anyone reads this forum anymore :P

Where do you start???? I would go buy a test light, the one that lights up when you touch ot to 12+
Most auto parts stores and tool shops will have them. From there you should get a good wiring diagram...I'll attach one to the end of this post. Then start tracing the wires, It can be frustrating but well worth the effort.
At least your horn isn't going off when you step on the brakes. :P

This is a 66-67 diagram

I'm not sure what year your car is, if it's not one of these i'll post the correct one for you.
