Fellow small chassis types,
Having recently had a GT6 Mk3 follow me home I'm now in the process of
straightening out the bodges a DPO left for me. I'm tackling the
electrical stuff right now and working from a Haynes that does not show
my particular model, so bear with me.
I've replaced the rotary main lighting switch that was dangling from its
wires with what I think is the proper one (p/n 30731), but it doesn't
seem to be affixed in the dash like it should. There are tabs at the top
and bottom of the switch that look as if they should snap into some kind
of mount. The back of the dash shows signs of having had some kind of
bracket, but there's no way the tabs of the switch will go back that
far. Does anyone know how this switch should mount in the dash?
I also have a black/purple wire with the conductor exposed hanging under
the dash. Any idea where its supposed to go?
Lastly, the fuel gauge light has had the smoke let out of the ground
(black) wire. All the insulation is toast and it has been taped up.
I've followed it up to the main harness, but haven't gone any farther.
The main harness has several black wires terminated together sticking
out of it a few inches back from where this wire enters the harness. I
have a hunch this is a common point for all the gauge light grounds and
that the toasted wire ends there. My hope is that I can unwrap the
harness and replace that section of wire. Anyone done this?
I'm planning to tackle this over the weekend and hook up a battery to
see what else smokes. Wish me luck.
Now where'd I put the Fluke meter?
