Evening all.
Currently cracking on with getting my 71 US import ready for the road, job by job... Slow and steady!
Unfortunately I've hit a snag today with the wiring. I had all the indicators working (thanks to George aka gvee for letting me raid his parts stash!) but then I lost indicators, still had hazards and noticed that the oil and generator red lights on the dash weren't lighting up - the engine still turns when ignition is turned all the way though.
They must be linked as they happened at the same time, but I can't see what it is that's done it.
To get a better look I removed the air con unit I had under the dash and I've now got a fairly thick, live red wire hanging out under the dash, has this been pulled out of something? I've had the clocks out to get to the wiring behind them as there were some bodged connections when I bought it.
Any help appreciated - also if anyone knows of someone local who can pop over and have a look over the electrics and the whole van in general, that would be double amazing and would be happy to pay in beer tokens!
Here's a few pics of what I've got - noticed the light switch seems to have one wire fed back into another connector on the same switch - it's got blue crimps and looks to be a later addition to factory - the wiring diagram isn't really helping as I'm slightly thick.
