Well gents as some of you are aware i,ve been having some right gremlins in ma 90,s electrics. So again i come to you fine gentleman cap in hand for some pointers or tips!
Starters for 6! Last night i changed the dash surround that houses all the dials. The one that was fitted had a crack plus the lower 2 locating lugs had been sheared off! Fairly easy job all dials removed and fiited into new housing.... But now when the key is turned the temp gauge dial goes right over to the right and stays there! Now i,ve checked the temp sensor on the engine no problems, just on the off chance it gave up the ghost .
Any body had any similar problems, no wires were cut or removed just un bolted and bolted staright back onagain!
Secondly my front L/H headlight is continuning to blow its fuse when ever its turned on. Over the past few days its blown on initially turning the headlights on but on other occasions its given up after a mile or so! I,ve checked the wiring at the light which is good, i,ve removed the light bulb and tried to turn on the lights and it still blows. I,ve followed the wirring loom from headlight to bulkhead and i cannot see and bare wires or any points where it is rubbing! My thought is were the main loom passes through the bulkhead. The sidelights stay on as does the R/H headlight.
My patience is being test now wea the electrics on this thing, i,ve walked away and left it for a beer before i hurt it:violent:.
So any help/points **** take are well appreciated. from a very angry jock!
