Hi All,
Recently bought a 1979 Mk2 which originally was a 1.6 Sport but now fitted with a 2.0 pinto, Type 9 box etc. There are several electrical problems which I have been working through.
Fuel and temp gauge not working, checked the plug into clocks wires for these gauges in wrong slot so swapped, fuel gauge now working but temp not, think its a connection into the clocks.
Rev counter not working, again checked plug all ok, checked by coil, both green wires connected together and wire from points to coil so rev counter not connected, altered wiring so points wire connected to green wire and second green wire connected to coil, car starts and rev counter works but when I turn the side lights on the rev counter stops working. Any ideas? Could this be a possible earth problem?
Finally the outer copper strip for the r/h indicator and been damaged so no dash light working, I was thinking of buying some copper conductive tape to repair, has anyone tried this?
Thanks Mike
