Subject:      Turn signal gremlins
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello all, 

 

Just picked up an 87 Westy and I'm trying to sort out some electrical
gremlins.  My turn signals work, but the left flashes rapidly.  I
checked all the conectors/bulbs and replaced one of the front lamp
holders and terminals which were badly corroded.  This solved one of my
fronts not flashing but still have the left fast blink.  To make matters
worse, when the headlight switch is on, the right will not blink at all,
the indicator light just stays on solid.  When the right blinks, the
left front also blinks but very faintly.  Don't know if its related, but
my temp gage does not work, although it just quit working.  The digital
clock does not work and the dash lights do not work for the speedo and
tach yet work for the LED lights, the clock, and the heater controls.  I
have a Bentley manual and I'm trying to sort it all out but any
suggestions as to what to check would be appreciated.

 

Kevin
