Electrical Gremlin 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike H. on  Thu Feb 26 08:07 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My 1983 242 (365,000 Km.) started with the following:

Activate the turn signal and immediately the dash alt. light, seatbelt warning light and seatbelt buzzer all turn on...they then flicker like a pinball machine and things then settle down, with the signal going properly.

No other electrical faults.

Any suggestions on where to start looking for the fix?

Thanks -

Mike

Hey Mike,

Check in your fuse box on the side with the wires and make sure they are all plugged in solid and none of the spades are touching each other. Make sure to clear out any corrosion you may find as well.

Happy Bricking!!!
